Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower head technology, and in particular to a descaling shower head. Background Technology

[0002] Showerheads are a common shower device in people's lives. After prolonged use, scale from the water flow easily accumulates on the nozzles of showerheads. Over time, the scale will clog the nozzles, making the showerhead unusable. To solve this problem, people use sharp tools to remove the scale, but each nozzle needs to be treated individually. This makes it impossible to guarantee that each nozzle is thoroughly cleaned. Moreover, generally, the scale is cleaned from the front of the nozzle inwards into the showerhead, leaving the scale inside and potentially causing it to clog again. This led to the publication of Chinese utility model patent CN207170043U, which discloses a shower head including a shower head shell. A water-distribution plate is installed inside the other end of the shower head shell, located between the shower head shell and an automatic descaling device. The automatic descaling device has a water jet and a mounting post. A descaling pin plate is connected to the automatic descaling device via the mounting post. A descaling pin is located at the upper end of the descaling pin plate, and each descaling pin corresponds to a water nozzle. The water nozzles are distributed on a water outlet panel, and a decorative water outlet cover is snapped onto the water outlet panel. The decorative water outlet cover has holes corresponding to the water nozzles. It is also equipped with a button, below which are connected a shift positioning column and a water outlet function conversion plate. The connection between the shift positioning column and the water outlet function conversion plate is provided with corresponding helical teeth. The water outlet function conversion plate is movably connected to the water outlet panel. When in use, the back pressure of the water presses down the descaling pin plate close to the automatic descaling device, allowing the water to flow down normally. When turned off, the back pressure of the water disappears, and the descaling pin on the descaling pin plate automatically rises to remove the dirt from the shower head outlet, ensuring the cleanliness of the device. It can be seen that this method cannot guarantee the descaling effect, relying entirely on the back pressure of the water. When the pressure is low, the descaling effect will be poor and cannot meet the usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 6 A descaling shower head includes a shower head housing 1 and a water distribution plate 2 disposed on the shower head housing 1. A shower head panel 3 is disposed on the shower head housing 1 above the water distribution plate 2. The shower head panel 3 is provided with a plurality of water outlets 31 for water outlet. A water channel 4 is provided on the shower head housing 1 for connecting to the water distribution plate 2. A descaling device 5 is provided on the water distribution plate 2 for descaling the water outlets 31 on the shower head panel 3. A drive mechanism 6 is disposed on the shower head housing 1 below the water distribution plate 2. The drive mechanism 6 is connected to the descaling device 5. A control component 7 for activating the drive mechanism 6 is provided on the shower head housing 1.

[0030] In use, simply start the drive mechanism 6 via the control unit 7, and the drive mechanism 6 will drive the descaling device 5 to descale and clean the water outlet 31 on the shower panel 3. This allows for manual control of the descaling and cleaning of the water outlet 31 on the shower panel 3, preventing the shower from becoming clogged due to scale, and better meeting usage needs.

[0031] Example 2: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the descaling device 5 includes a mounting plate 51 mounted on the water distribution plate 2. A descaling pin plate 52 is mounted on the mounting plate 51, and descaling pins 53 are mounted on the descaling pin plate 52. Each descaling pin 53 corresponds to a water outlet 31. The descaling pins 53 slide back and forth within the water outlet 31, thereby cleaning the water outlet 31. It should be noted that the mounting plate 51 is larger than the water distribution plate 2, and the mounting plate 51 is positioned precisely inside the shower head housing 1. Furthermore, the mounting plate 51 can move slightly up and down inside the shower head housing 1, and this slight movement of the mounting plate 51 drives the movement of the descaling pin plate 52.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting plate 51 is provided with a spray head 511 and a drain outlet 512. Correspondingly, the descaling pin plate 52 is provided with several limiting holes 521. The spray head 511 passes through the limiting holes 521 and is connected to the water outlet 31. This not only facilitates the fixed connection between the mounting plate 51 and the descaling pin plate 52, but also facilitates water spraying. The descaling pin plate 52 is provided with a drain column 522, which extends from the drain outlet 512 into the water distribution plate 2. This also facilitates drainage through the drain outlet 512. The shower panel 3 is provided with a first through hole 32 and a second through hole 33. The first through hole 32 corresponds to the spray head 511, and the second through hole 33 corresponds to the drain outlet 512. This facilitates drainage.

[0033] Example 3: This can be described based on Example 1 or Example 2, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a drive rod 61 disposed inside the shower head housing 1. A control element 7 is disposed at one end of the drive rod 61, and an actuator 62 is disposed at the other end. Connectors 63 are disposed at both ends of the actuator 62, and the connectors 63 are connected to the descaling device 5. The drive rod 61 and the actuator 62 are movably connected, allowing the actuator 62 to perform lever motion, thus facilitating the up-and-down movement of the descaling device 5. It should be noted that a central shaft is disposed at the other end of the drive rod 61, and a mounting groove is disposed on the lower surface of the middle of the actuator 62, located on the central shaft. This arrangement facilitates lever motion of the actuator 62 with the central shaft as a fulcrum. Rotating shafts are disposed on both sides of the middle position of the drive rod 61, and correspondingly, rotating shaft holes are disposed on the lower surface of the water distribution plate 2, with the rotating shafts located within these holes. When the drive rod 61 is driven by the control element 7, it facilitates movement of the drive rod 61 between the shower head housing 1 and the water distribution plate 2.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 63 includes mounting bases 631 on both ends of the actuator 62 and through holes 632 on the water distribution plate 2. The mounting bases 631 pass through the through holes 632 and are connected to the descaling device 5. A sealing ring 633 is provided between the mounting bases 631 and the descaling device 5, which helps to improve the sealing performance. A return spring 634 is provided on the descaling device 5 corresponding to the mounting bases 631, which helps to reset the descaling device 5.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the control component 7 includes a button 71 that can move back and forth on the shower head housing 1. A pressing rod 72 is provided on the lower surface of the button 71. The pressing rod 72 is located above one end of the drive rod 61. A buckle 73 is provided on the button 71. A slide 74 is provided on the descaling device 5. The buckle 73 slides along the slide 74 and latches together after reaching the lower end face of the slide 74. When pressed again, the buckle 73 disengages from the lower end face of the buckle 73, thereby moving upward along the slide 74. This allows the button 71 to move up and down and then be fixed in place, which is beneficial for the normal water output of this utility model.

[0036] Example 4: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the shower panel 3 includes a water outlet panel 34 disposed on the shower housing 1 and a water outlet inner plate 35 disposed on the lower surface of the water outlet panel 34. The water outlet 31 includes an external drain hole 311 disposed on the water outlet panel 34 and a drain head 312 disposed on the water outlet inner plate 35. The drain head 312 is inserted into the external drain hole 311. This arrangement is reasonable, the structure is simple, and it is easy to implement.

[0037] Example 5: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a spray water device 8 for spraying water on the water distribution plate 2. The spray water device 8 includes a spray seat 81 provided on the shower panel 3. The spray seat 81 is provided with a spray nozzle 82. The spray seat 81 extends through the descaling device 5, and the spray nozzle 82 is connected to the water distribution plate 2. This facilitates water spraying.

[0038] This invention is particularly suitable for directional shower heads, which is more conducive to meeting user needs.

[0039] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and the specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts and rivets that are mature in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
