Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower equipment technology, and in particular to a bubble shower with switchable water channels. Background Technology
[0002] Most showerheads on the market currently spray water through small holes. This results in a less effective cleaning action and a less gentle water flow. When the water pressure is too high, this can cause discomfort and even skin damage. Therefore, it is necessary to address the issue of discomfort caused by excessive water pressure from showerheads. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a bubble shower head with switchable water paths. This invention applies bubble technology to the field of shower heads, improves the cleaning function of the shower head, and makes the water spray softer.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a switchable water path bubble shower head, including a shower head, a shower panel disposed on the outside of the shower head, an aerator disposed inside the shower head, and a shower valve core disposed below the aerator. The shower panel is provided with a shower hole and a central hole. The shower head is provided with a central water flow channel and a shower water flow channel. The central water flow channel is connected to the central hole, and the shower water flow channel is connected to the shower hole. The aerator is connected to the central water flow channel. The shower valve core is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The aerator is disposed on the first through hole, and the second through hole is connected to the shower water flow channel. A shower deflector is provided on the outside of the shower valve core. The shower deflector can rotate to open the first through hole and close the second through hole or open the second through hole and close the first through hole. Rotating the shower head ring causes the shower valve core to rotate, opening the first through hole and closing the second through hole, thus opening the central water flow channel. Water flows through the shower valve core from the first through hole, through the aerator and the central water flow channel, and then flows out of the central hole. Because the water flows through the aerator, it contains a large number of air bubbles, making the water spray more gentle. Rotating the shower head ring again causes the shower valve core to rotate, opening the second through hole and closing the first through hole, thus opening the shower water flow channel. Water flows through the shower valve core from the second through hole, through the shower water flow channel, and then flows out of the shower head.
[0005] Preferably, the shower valve core includes a lower cover connected to a shower deflector ring, a movable ceramic disc on the lower cover, and a valve core on the movable ceramic disc. The movable ceramic disc has a third and a fourth through hole, while the first and second through holes are located on the valve core. The shower deflector ring can rotate to rotate the movable ceramic disc, aligning the first and third through holes and closing the second through hole, or aligning the second and fourth through holes and closing the first through hole. By rotating the movable ceramic disc, the central water flow channel and the shower water flow channel can be switched.
[0006] Preferably, the lower cover includes an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring has a first protrusion, and a first groove is formed between two adjacent first protrusions. The moving ceramic piece has first protrusions distributed circumferentially, and the first protrusions are engaged in the first grooves. The first protrusions and the first grooves fix the moving ceramic piece on the lower cover and allow it to rotate with the lower cover.
[0007] Preferably, the outer ring of the lower cover has a second groove, and the shower head lever ring includes a lever ring and a clip. The clip has a second protrusion and a third groove, with the second protrusion engaging with the second groove. The lever ring has a third protrusion, which engages with the third groove. The lever ring, clip, and outer ring of the lower cover are connected, allowing the user to rotate the lower cover by turning the lever ring, thereby rotating the ceramic disc and switching the water flow channels.
[0008] Preferably, the shower valve core also includes an upper cover with a fourth groove containing a double-hole washer positioned above the valve core. The holes of the double-hole washer are aligned with the first and second through holes, respectively. The upper cover also has a fifth through hole. A second protrusion on the inner ring of the lower cover has a hook that engages within the fifth through hole to secure the upper cover. This hook design secures the entire shower valve core, preventing displacement due to rotation and ensuring a longer product lifespan. The size of the fifth through hole also limits the range of rotation of the control ring.
[0009] Preferably, the bubbler includes an upper shell and a lower shell connected to the upper shell. The upper shell has an upper convex hole that communicates with a first through hole. The bottom of the lower shell has a lower convex hole that is inserted into the upper convex hole.
[0010] Preferably, the bubbler also includes a bubble element disposed within the upper housing. The bubble element has several water inlet holes at its bottom, an air inlet hole in its middle, and at least one bubble layer on its upper part, with several small holes on the bubble layer. The arrangement of the bubble element allows the water to be enriched with air, forming bubbly water.
[0011] Preferably, the shower head has a connecting pipe and a first water flow channel inside. The upper end of the upper shell is connected to the connecting pipe. The inner side of the connecting pipe and the inner side of the first water flow channel form a central water flow channel. The outer side of the connecting pipe, the outer side of the first water flow channel, and the inner side of the shower head form a shower water flow channel.
[0012] Preferably, the first water flow channel includes a pipe body and a disc body, which are connected. The disc body covers the shower head, and a water outlet is provided on the outer side of the disc body near the water outlet panel. The water outlet is located on one side of the connecting pipe.
[0013] Preferably, a threaded pipe is provided below the shower head, and a shower handle is connected below the threaded pipe.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model applies bubble technology to the field of shower heads, improves the cleaning function of shower heads, and makes the water spray of the shower head gentler. Attached Figure Description
