Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and more specifically, to a rod-shaped shower head. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional showerheads consist of a water distribution chamber, multiple water outlets, and nozzles corresponding to each outlet. All nozzles are arranged in sections on the showerhead cover. By rotating or moving a water distribution element within the chamber, a specific water outlet is connected to the chamber, allowing water to flow from the corresponding nozzle. Due to the limited area of ​​the showerhead cover, the area corresponding to each water outlet decreases as the showerhead's spray level increases. This is particularly noticeable in stick showerheads (long, narrow showerheads), where the nozzles are located on the side facing the user, leaving very limited space for them. Adding spray levels further reduces the spray area for each setting, resulting in poor shower performance and a negative user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a rod-shaped shower head, which aims to improve the problem of small water outlet area at each setting of the existing rod-shaped shower head, thus affecting the showering effect.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] A rod-shaped shower head includes a water outlet assembly. The water outlet assembly has an inlet water passage, a water distribution chamber, an outlet water passage, and a water outlet nozzle. The inlet water passage is connected to the water distribution chamber. A water distribution element is disposed in the water distribution chamber. The water distribution element can be moved or rotated in an operable manner to select the outlet water passage that is connected to the inlet water passage. The water outlet nozzles are arranged along the axial direction of the shower head. Each water outlet nozzle is connected to at least two different outlet water passages, and the water spray formed by each outlet water passage and the water outlet nozzle is different.

[0006] As a further improvement, the water distribution component is provided with a water-blocking part, which is used to block the inlet end of the water outlet channel. One end of the water distribution component is disposed in the water distribution cavity, and the other end is connected to the push-pull structure and is configured to be driven to rotate by the push-pull structure.

[0007] As a further improvement, the push-pull structure includes a push button and a sliding block connected to the push button. The sliding block is provided with a rack, and the water distribution component is provided with a gear for meshing with the rack.

[0008] As a further improvement, the bottom of the water distribution component is provided with a limiting groove, which is inserted into the positioning part inside the water distribution cavity to limit the rotation angle of the water distribution component.

[0009] As a further improvement, the water distribution chamber is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the shower head, and both the inlet and outlet water passages are arranged to extend along the axial direction of the shower head.

[0010] As a further improvement, the water outlet assembly includes an inlet pipe, a water passage component, and an outlet cover. The inlet pipe is provided with an inlet water path, a first outlet water path, a second outlet water path, and a water distribution cavity connected to each water path. The side wall of the first outlet water path is provided with a plurality of first outlet holes, and the side wall of the second outlet water path is provided with a plurality of second outlet holes. A first water passage cavity is formed between the water passage component and the outlet cover, and a second water passage cavity is formed between the inlet pipe and the water passage component. The first water passage cavity is connected to the first outlet hole, and the second water passage cavity is connected to the second outlet hole.

[0011] As a further improvement, the water outlet cover is provided with a water outlet, and each water outlet has a water inlet groove and a water inlet hole at its bottom. The water inlet groove is arranged along the tangential direction of the water inlet hole. The water in the first water passage cavity flows out of the water outlet through the water inlet groove, and the water in the second water passage cavity flows out of the water outlet through the water inlet hole.

[0012] As a further improvement, the water outlet assembly is fitted with a metal housing on its outer periphery. The metal housing is cylindrical, and the water outlet assembly is configured to be inserted into the metal housing from one end and limited by a plug located at the other end of the metal housing.

[0013] As a further improvement, the plug is inserted on the side of the water outlet assembly away from the water outlet nozzle, and has a first locking part thereon. The water outlet assembly has a second locking part thereon. The first locking part and the second locking part engage to limit the water outlet assembly along the axial direction and abut against the water outlet assembly so that the water outlet nozzle is inserted into the mounting hole of the metal housing.

[0014] As a further improvement, the water outlet component is provided with a limiting part, and the metal housing is provided with a positioning hole. The limiting part is fitted with the positioning hole to limit the water outlet component in the circumferential direction. The inner wall of the metal housing is recessed with a groove, and the water outlet component is provided with a buckle. The buckle is engaged with the groove to limit the water outlet component in the axial direction.

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

[0016] 1. This application configures the same water outlet to connect to at least two different water outlet paths. A water distribution component selects the water outlet path connected to the inlet path, resulting in different water spray patterns and enabling switching between different spray levels. In simpler terms, the same water outlet can produce different water spray patterns, ensuring the water area is the same for each setting, guaranteeing a consistent water flow area, thus ensuring optimal showering performance and enhancing the user's showering experience.

[0017] 2. The water distribution component and the push button are linked by a gear and rack structure to achieve stepless adjustment of the water outlet position.

[0018] 3. A metal shell is fitted around the water outlet component. The metal shell can be made of zinc alloy, stainless steel, etc. Since the metal shell is directly fitted onto the water outlet component without the need for water to pass through, a wider range of materials can be selected, which is more conducive to appearance design.

[0019] 4. The insert design serves two purposes: firstly, it restricts the axial movement of the water outlet assembly, and secondly, it facilitates the installation of the water outlet nozzle. During installation, first insert the water outlet assembly into the metal housing. At this point, the metal housing has ample space to accommodate the water outlet nozzle, preventing it from being scratched by the metal housing. Once the water outlet assembly is fully inserted, place the insert into the metal housing so that the water outlet nozzle can be inserted along the mounting hole, making installation convenient.

[0042] 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 a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model 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 represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example

[0043] Combination Figures 1 to 18 This embodiment provides a rod-shaped shower head, including a water outlet assembly 1. The water outlet assembly 1 has an inlet water passage 11, a water distribution chamber 12, an outlet water passage, and a water outlet nozzle 15. The inlet water passage 11 is connected to the water distribution chamber 12. A water distribution element 2 is disposed in the water distribution chamber 12. The water distribution element 2 can be moved or rotated in an operable manner to select the outlet water passage connected to the inlet water passage 11. Each water outlet nozzle 15 is arranged along the axial direction of the shower head. The same water outlet nozzle 15 is connected to at least two different outlet water passages, and the water spray formed by each outlet water passage and the water outlet nozzle 15 is different.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the same water outlet 15 is configured to be connected to at least two different water outlet paths. The water distribution component 2 selects the water outlet path connected to the inlet water path 11, so that the water spray from the water outlet 15 is different, thereby achieving the switching of the spray level. It is easy to understand that the same water outlet 15 can spray different water sprays, ensuring that the water outlet area is the same for each level, guaranteeing the water outlet area, thus ensuring the shower effect and improving the user's showering experience.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the water divider 2 is provided with a water blocking part 21, which is used to block the water inlet end of the water outlet. One end of the water divider 2 is disposed in the water dividing cavity 12, and the other end is connected to the push structure 3 and is configured to be driven to rotate by the push structure 3. For example, the water outlet assembly 1 is provided with two water outlet paths, namely the first water outlet path 13 and the second water outlet path 14. When the water blocking part 21 blocks the inlet end of the first water outlet path 13, the first water outlet path 13 is isolated from the inlet path 11. At this time, the second water outlet path 14 is connected to the inlet path 11, and the water outlet 15 cooperates with the second water outlet path 14 to form a second type of water splash. When the water blocking part 21 blocks the second water outlet path 14, the second water outlet path 14 is isolated from the inlet path 11. At this time, the first water outlet path 13 is connected to the inlet path 11, and the water outlet 15 cooperates with the first water outlet path 13 to form a first type of water splash. When the water blocking part 21 blocks part of the first water outlet path 13 and part of the second water outlet path 14 at the same time, a third type of water splash is formed between the two water outlet paths and the water outlet 15. This is not limited to this and is not specifically limited.

[0046] Furthermore, the push-pull structure 3 includes a push button 31 and a sliding block 32 connected to the push button 31. The sliding block 32 is provided with a rack 321, and the water distribution component 2 is provided with a gear 22 for meshing with the rack 321. The sliding block 32 is sleeved on the water outlet component 1. When the user pushes the push button 31, the sliding block 32 moves along the axial direction of the shower head, causing the rack 321 to drive the gear 22 to rotate synchronously, thereby linking the water distribution component 2 to rotate and achieving stepless adjustment of the water outlet level. Preferably, the bottom of the water distribution component 2 is provided with a limiting groove 23, which is inserted into the positioning part 121 inside the water distribution cavity 12 to limit the rotation angle of the water distribution component 2, facilitating the user's selection of the water outlet level.

[0047] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the water distribution chamber 12 is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the shower head, and the inlet water passage 11 and the outlet water passage are both arranged to extend along the axial direction of the shower head, so as to make the structure more compact, avoid the water passages from being arranged in an interlaced manner, simplify the water passage structure, and facilitate mold design.

[0048] In one embodiment, the water outlet assembly 1 includes an inlet pipe 16, a water passage 17, and an outlet cover 18. The inlet pipe 16 is provided with an inlet water passage 11, a first outlet water passage 13, a second outlet water passage 14, and a water distribution chamber 12 that is connected to each water passage. The side wall of the first outlet water passage 13 is provided with a plurality of first outlet holes 131, and the side wall of the second outlet water passage 14 is provided with a plurality of second outlet holes 141. A first water passage chamber 132 is formed between the water passage 17 and the outlet cover 18, and a second water passage chamber 142 is formed between the inlet pipe 16 and the water passage 17. The first water passage chamber 132 is connected to the first outlet hole 131, and the second water passage chamber 142 is connected to the second outlet hole 141. Water from the first water outlet 13 flows into the first water passage 132 through the first water outlet hole 131, and water from the second water outlet 14 flows into the second water passage 142 through the second water outlet hole 141. The first water outlet hole 131 and the second water outlet hole 141 are both arranged evenly along the axial direction of the shower head to ensure that the water flow at each position is uniform.

[0049] Furthermore, the water outlet cover 18 is provided with a water outlet 15, and each water outlet 15 has a water inlet groove 181 and a water inlet hole 182 at its bottom. The water inlet groove 181 is arranged along the tangential direction of the water inlet hole 182. The water in the first water passage 132 flows out of the water outlet 15 through the water inlet groove 181, and the water in the second water passage 142 flows out of the water outlet 15 through the water inlet hole 182. That is, when the first water outlet passage 13 is connected to the water inlet passage 11, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 Curve A in the diagram shows that water flows from the first water outlet 13 to the first water passage 132 and then enters the water outlet 15 through the water inlet 181. The water flow is accelerated as it passes through the water inlet 181, thus creating massage water (the first type of water spray) at the water outlet 15. When the second water outlet 14 is connected to the water inlet 11, see... Figure 2 In curve B, the water flows from the second water outlet 14 to the second water passage 142 and then enters the water outlet 15 through the water inlet 182. The water is sprayed directly from the water outlet 15 as the second type of water splash. When both water outlets are connected to the water inlet 11, a third type of water splash is formed at the water outlet 15, which combines the first and second types of water splashes.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, a metal shell 4 is fitted around the outer periphery of the water outlet component 1. The metal shell 4 is cylindrical, and the water outlet component 1 is configured to be inserted into the metal shell 4 from one end and limited by a plug 5 located at the other end of the metal shell 4. The material of the metal shell 4 can be zinc alloy, stainless steel, etc., without specific limitation. The metal shell 4 is directly fitted onto the water outlet component 1 without the need for water rinsing, allowing for a wider range of material choices and facilitating better appearance design.

[0051] Specifically, the plug 5 is inserted into the side of the water outlet assembly 1 away from the water outlet 15, and has a first locking part 51 on it. The water outlet assembly 1 has a second locking part 19. The first locking part 51 and the second locking part 19 engage to limit the water outlet assembly 1 axially and abut against the water outlet assembly 1, so that the water outlet 15 is inserted into the mounting hole 41 of the metal housing 4. The first locking part 51 is a figure-eight shaped elastic buckle, and the second locking part 19 has a guide surface adapted to the figure-eight shape to facilitate the smooth insertion of the plug 5. The plug 5 serves two purposes: firstly, it restricts the axial movement of the water outlet assembly 1, and secondly, it facilitates the installation of the water outlet 15. During installation, first insert the water outlet component 1 into the metal housing 4. At this time, the metal housing 4 has a large margin to accommodate the water outlet 15, preventing the water outlet 15 from being scratched by the metal housing 4. After the water outlet component 1 is inserted into place, insert the plug 5 into the metal housing 4 so that the water outlet 15 can be inserted along the mounting hole 41, making installation convenient.

[0052] Preferably, the water outlet component 1 is provided with a limiting part 161, and the metal housing 4 is provided with a positioning hole 42. The limiting part 161 is fitted with the positioning hole 42 to limit the water outlet component 1 circumferentially. The inner wall of the metal housing 4 is recessed with a groove 43, and the water outlet component 1 is provided with a buckle 162. The buckle 162 is engaged with the groove 43 to limit the water outlet component 1 axially. The groove 43 on the metal housing 4 can be machined on a lathe. During installation, after aligning the limiting part 161 with the positioning hole 42, the water outlet component 1 is pressed into the metal housing 4 axially, and the buckle 162 is engaged with the groove 43, thereby limiting the water outlet component 1, preventing the water outlet component 1 from loosening from the metal housing 4, and ensuring a reliable connection between the water outlet component 1 and the metal housing 4.

[0053] 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 within the protection scope of this utility model.
