Description

A shower head with both water-stopping and spray gun functions Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and more specifically, to a shower head with water-stopping and spray gun functions. Background Technology

[0002] Existing showerheads are becoming increasingly multifunctional, including not only switching between various water spray patterns but also features such as water shut-off and spray gun functions. For example, Chinese patent CN216704726U discloses a showerhead with a spray gun function. By adding a water flow on / off valve core, and actuating it with a push button, the showerhead can switch between a water shut-off state and a water flow state. Simultaneously, in the water flow state, by adding a water distribution valve core, and actuating it with a button, the water flow selectively flows to the showerhead water chamber and the spray gun water chamber, and then sprays outward through the water outlet assembly or spray holes. When the water flow flows into the showerhead water chamber, by rotating the water outlet assembly, the water flow selectively connects to the water inlet hole of the water outlet assembly through the water passage hole of the fixed plate, thereby achieving water path switching between different water spray functions. This type of solution requires three control switches to control the water shut-off function, the spray gun function, and the showerhead water switching function, resulting in a relatively complex structure. Furthermore, the numerous switches are inconvenient for users and limit the showerhead's appearance design. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model discloses a shower head with water-stopping and spray gun functions, aiming to improve the problems of existing shower heads that integrate spray gun function, water-stopping function and water path switching function having complex structure and many switching components.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] A shower head with water-stopping and spray gun functions includes a shower head body, a first switching mechanism, and a second switching mechanism. The shower head body has a water inlet channel, a shower water chamber, and a spray gun water chamber. The shower water chamber is connected to a water outlet assembly, and the spray gun water chamber is connected to a spray gun nozzle. The first switching mechanism includes a switching valve disposed on the water inlet channel, which switches the water inlet channel between being connected to the shower water chamber and being connected to the spray gun water chamber. The second switching mechanism includes a water distribution component disposed in a water distribution chamber and a push button linked to the water distribution component. The water distribution chamber is connected to the shower water chamber. The water outlet end of the water distribution chamber has a water-stopping hole and multiple water outlets. Each water outlet is connected to a water outlet path on the water outlet assembly. Pushing the push button rotates the water distribution component, causing the water outlet on the water distribution component to align and connect with the water-stopping hole or the water outlet.

[0006] As a further improvement, the second switching mechanism also includes a slider, a rack, and a gear. The slider is disposed on the shower handle, the push button is connected to the slider and exposed on the shower handle, the rack is linked to the slider, the gear meshes with the rack and is coaxially arranged with the water distribution element.

[0007] As a further improvement, the shower handle is fitted with a water inlet pipe, the outer wall of the water inlet pipe is provided with a guide rail, and the slider is provided with a guide groove for matching the guide rail, thereby restricting the movement direction of the slider.

[0008] As a further improvement, the water distribution chamber is provided with a cover, and the rotating shaft of the water distribution component extends from the top of the cover to connect with the gear. The cover is provided with a first limiting groove for adapting to a first limiting portion at the top of the rack, and a second limiting groove for adapting to a second limiting portion at the bottom of the rack.

[0009] As a further improvement, the water distribution component includes a water sealing part, the water distribution port is opened on the water sealing part, a sealing gasket is arranged on the side of the water sealing part facing the water outlet, the rotating shaft is located on the other side of the water sealing part and is fitted with an elastic member, the elastic member is abutted between the cover and the water sealing part so that the water sealing part and the sealing gasket abut and seal.

[0010] As a further improvement, the showerhead body is provided with a switching chamber that is connected to the water inlet channel, the showerhead water chamber and the spray gun water chamber. The switching valve is disposed in the switching chamber. By pressing the button connected to the switching valve, the sealing element on the switching valve is moved, thereby blocking the water inlet end of the showerhead water chamber or the water inlet end of the spray gun water chamber.

[0011] As a further improvement, the button is provided with a connecting groove for connecting to the valve stem of the switching valve, and a hinge groove for hinged to the shaft portion of the cover.

[0012] As a further improvement, the spray nozzle is located on the front side wall of the shower head, the button is located on the back of the shower head, the switching chamber is arranged in the extension direction of the handle, and the water distribution chamber is located on one side of the switching chamber.

[0013] As a further improvement, the water outlet assembly includes a water outlet cover, and each water outlet channel in the water outlet assembly is connected to a corresponding water outlet nozzle on the water outlet cover. The water stop hole is connected to the water stop channel and is connected to the water stop nozzle.

[0014] As a further improvement, the size of the water-stopping hole is smaller than the size of any of the water outlet holes.

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

[0016] 1. This application controls the spray gun water function through a first switching mechanism, and a second switching mechanism drives the water distribution component to rotate to achieve the water stop function and water path switching function. Users can directly switch via the switching valve when they need to use the spray gun water, which is convenient and quick. When the water outlet on the water distribution component is aligned and connected to the water stop hole, the shower head is in a paused water state (dripping or low-volume water flow) so that users can apply personal care products without turning off the faucet, ensuring water temperature while reducing water waste. When the water outlet of the water distribution component is aligned with any water outlet hole, water flows from the water path connected to that outlet hole. It is easy to understand that this application only needs two switching components to achieve the spray gun water function, water stop function, and water path switching function. Compared with existing technologies, its structure is simple, eliminating the need for rotating the water outlet component to switch water paths, thus avoiding the limitations imposed by rotational switching on the shower head's appearance and allowing for more diverse shower head designs. Furthermore, the reduction in the number of switching components facilitates user operation and improves the user experience.

[0017] 2. By pushing and turning the slider, the rack drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the water distribution component to rotate synchronously. The gear and rack have good structural stability and can achieve stepless adjustment of the water outlet.

[0018] 3. The spray nozzle is located on the front side wall of the shower head, the button is located on the back of the shower head, the switching chamber is located in the extension direction of the handle, and the water distribution chamber is located on one side of the switching chamber, so as to make the shower body structure compact and reduce the thickness of the shower body. The button is set in an ergonomic way, making it convenient for users to switch to the spray nozzle. Attached Figure Description

[0034] 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. 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 represents selected 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. Examples

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 to 15, this embodiment provides a shower head with both water-stopping and spray gun functions, including a shower head body 1, a first switching mechanism 2, and a second switching mechanism 3. The shower head body 1 has a water inlet channel 11, a shower water chamber 12, and a spray gun water chamber 13. The shower water chamber 12 is connected to a water outlet assembly 4, and the spray gun water chamber 13 is connected to a spray gun nozzle 5. The first switching mechanism 2 includes a switching valve 21 disposed on the water inlet channel 11. The switching valve 21 allows the water inlet channel 11 to switch between communication with the shower water chamber 12 and communication with the spray gun nozzle. The water chamber 13 is connected and switched; the second switching mechanism 3 includes a water distribution component 31 configured in the water distribution chamber 14 and a push button 32 linked to the water distribution component 31. The water distribution chamber 14 is connected to the shower water chamber 12. The water outlet end of the water distribution chamber 14 is provided with a water stop hole 141 and multiple water outlet holes 142. Each water outlet hole 142 is connected to the water outlet water passage 41 on the water outlet component 4. By pushing the push button 32, the water distribution component 31 is driven to rotate, so that the water outlet 313 on the water distribution component 31 is aligned and connected with the water stop hole 141 or the water outlet hole 142.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the spray gun water function is controlled by the first switching mechanism 2, and the second switching mechanism 3 drives the water distribution component 31 to rotate to achieve the water stop function and water path switching function. When the user needs to use the spray gun water, they can directly switch through the switching valve 21, which is convenient and quick. When the water outlet 313 on the water distribution component 31 is aligned and connected with the water stop hole 141, the shower head is in a paused water state (dripping or a small amount of water) so that the user can apply washing and care products without turning off the faucet, ensuring the water temperature while reducing water waste. When the water outlet 313 of the water distribution component 31 is aligned with any water outlet hole 142, water flows out through the water path 41 connected to that water outlet hole 142. It is easy to understand that this embodiment only needs to set two switching components to realize the spray gun water function, water stop function, and water path switching function. Compared with the prior art, its structure is simple and does not require water path switching by rotating the water outlet component 4, which can avoid the limitation of the appearance of the shower head 17 by rotation switching, so that the appearance of the shower head can be more diversified. Furthermore, the reduction in switches makes operation easier and more convenient for users, thus improving the user experience.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the second switching mechanism 3 further includes a slider 33, a rack 34, and a gear 35. The slider 33 is disposed on the shower handle 15. A push button 32 is connected to the slider 33 and exposed on the shower handle 15. The rack 34 is linked to the slider 33, and the gear 35 meshes with the rack 34 and is coaxially arranged with the water distribution component 31. By pushing the push button 32, the slider 33 is moved, causing the rack 34 to drive the gear 35 to rotate, thereby linking the water distribution component 31 to rotate synchronously. The structure of the gear 35 and the rack 34 has good stability and can realize stepless adjustment of the water outlet path 41. For example, a water inlet pipe 151 is sleeved inside the shower handle 15. A guide rail 1511 is provided on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 151. The slider 33 is provided with a guide groove for matching the guide rail 1511, thereby limiting the movement direction of the slider 33, preventing the slider 33 from shaking, and ensuring the stability of the slider 33's movement. The cross-section of guide rail 1511 can be T-shaped, but is not limited to this and is not specifically restricted.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the water distribution cavity 14 is provided with a cover 143, and the rotating shaft 311 of the water distribution component 31 passes through the top of the cover 143 to connect with the gear 35. Specifically, the cover 143 is provided with a first limiting groove 1431 for matching with the first limiting part 341 at the top of the rack 34, and a second limiting groove 1432 for matching with the second limiting part 342 at the bottom of the rack 34, so as to ensure that the rack 34 moves in a straight line, prevent the rack 34 from shifting position, affect the meshing with the gear 35, and ensure smooth meshing between the gear 35 and the rack 34.

[0039] Furthermore, the water distribution component 31 includes a water sealing part 312, with a water outlet 313 formed on the water sealing part 312. A sealing gasket 36 is disposed on the side of the water sealing part 312 facing the water outlet 142. A rotating shaft 311 is disposed on the other side of the water sealing part 312 and is fitted with an elastic element 37. The elastic element 37 abuts against the cover 143 and the water sealing part 312 to ensure that the water sealing part 312 and the sealing gasket 36 abut and seal. The water sealing part 312 is disc-shaped, with its side abutting against the sealing gasket 36 being flat. The elastic element 37 is preferably a spring, which can ensure both the rotation of the water distribution component 31 and the sealing effect between the water sealing part 312 and the sealing gasket 36.

[0040] In another embodiment, the shower head body 1 has a switching chamber 16 that communicates with the water inlet channel 11, the shower head water chamber 12, and the spray gun water chamber 13. A switching valve 21 is disposed within the switching chamber 16. Pressing the button 22 connected to the switching valve 21 causes the sealing element 23 on the switching valve 21 to move, correspondingly blocking the water inlet end of either the shower head water chamber 12 or the spray gun water chamber 13. When the sealing element 23 blocks the water inlet end of the shower head water chamber 12, the water inlet channel 11 communicates with the spray gun water chamber 13; when the sealing element 23 blocks the water inlet end of the spray gun water chamber 13, the water inlet channel 11 communicates with the shower head water chamber 12. In one embodiment, the button 22 has a connecting groove 221 for connecting with the valve stem of the switching valve 21, and a hinge groove 222 for hinged with the shaft portion 1433 of the cover 143. A spring is fitted onto the valve stem. When button 22 is pressed, button 22 rotates downward around the shaft 1433 of cover 143, pressing down the valve stem to move the seal 23. After releasing button 22, it resets under the action of the spring. In this embodiment, water is switched to the spray nozzle 5 only when button 22 is pressed, and switches back to the water outlet assembly 4 after button 22 is released, to avoid user misoperation or forgetting to switch gears, causing water to spray onto the ceiling.

[0041] Preferably, the spray nozzle 5 is located on the front side wall of the shower head 17, the button 22 is located on the back of the shower head 17, the switching chamber 16 is positioned in the extension direction of the handle, and the water distribution chamber 14 is located on one side of the switching chamber 16, so as to make the shower body 1 compact and reduce the thickness of the shower body 1. The button 22 is ergonomically designed to facilitate the user in switching to the spray nozzle 5.

[0042] In other embodiments, the water outlet assembly 4 includes a water outlet cover 42. Each water outlet channel 41 within the water outlet assembly 4 is connected to a corresponding area of ​​the water outlet nozzle on the water outlet cover 42. The water stop hole 141 is connected to the water stop channel 43 and is connected to the water stop outlet 44. For example, the size of the water stop hole 141 is smaller than the size of any water outlet hole 142, and the water stop outlet 44 is in the shape of a small hole. When the water flows into the water stop hole 141, it is restricted by the water inlet section of the water stop hole 141. Then, it flows into the water stop channel 43 from the water stop hole 141 and then flows out from the water stop outlet 44. The number of water stop outlets 44 is small and the orifice diameter is small, so that the water flow rate is restricted again, forming a near-closed dripping state to achieve a temporary stop of the water flow. This is not limited to this and is not specifically limited.

[0043] 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.
