[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-rotating mode shower head, including a water inlet handle 1 and a handle rear shell 2. The water inlet handle 1 has a first water inlet channel 101, and the water inlet end of the first water inlet channel 101 is connected to a water inlet pipe. The handle rear shell 2 has a second water inlet channel 201, and the water outlet end of the first water inlet channel 101 is connected to the water inlet end of the second water inlet channel 201. A water channel plate 6 is installed in the handle rear shell 2. A connecting cover 7 is installed on the water inlet side of the water channel plate 6. The connecting cover 7 and the water inlet side of the water channel plate 6 form a connecting cavity 701. A mode switching button 3 is installed in the connecting cavity 701. A spray plate 4 is installed on the front side of the handle rear shell 2. A rotating cover 4022 is rotatably installed on the spray plate 4. A plurality of second mode spray nozzles 402 are installed on the rotating cover 4022. The water channel plate 6 is provided with a driving component for driving the rotating cover 4022 to rotate.

[0023] In use, this utility model uses the pressure of water flow to drive the drive component, which in turn drives the second mode spray nozzle 402 to rotate in conjunction with the rotating cover plate 4022. The second mode spray nozzle 402 can be developed into a spray mode, a shower mode, a high water flow mode, or other usable modes according to actual usage conditions. By rotating the cover plate 4022 in conjunction with the second mode spray nozzle 402, the second mode spray nozzle 402 is prevented from spraying water in a fixed state for a long time, which greatly improves the comfort of bathing.

[0024] In a further optimized design, an intermediate plate 8 is installed between the water channel plate 6 and the spray plate 4. The water channel plate 6 has a first water channel 601, a second water channel 602, a third water channel 603, and a fourth water channel 604. The spray plate 4 has a first mode spray nozzle 401, a second mode spray nozzle 402, and a third mode spray nozzle 403. A fourth mode spray nozzle 5 is installed on one side of the water channel plate 6 after it is fastened to the handle back cover 2. The fourth mode spray nozzle 5 is located on the side away from the water inlet handle 1. The first mode spray nozzle 401 is connected to the second water channel 602. The second mode spray nozzle 402 is connected to the fourth water channel 604 through a driving component. The third mode spray nozzle 403 is connected to the first water channel 601. The fourth mode spray nozzle 5 is connected to the third water channel 603.

[0025] The scheme is further optimized. The driving component includes a driving cavity opened on the water channel plate 6. A middle partition plate 10 is installed in the driving cavity. The middle partition plate 10 divides the driving cavity into a rear cavity 605 and a front cavity 606. The rear cavity 605 is connected to the fourth water channel 604. The middle partition plate 10 is provided with several oblique water inlets 1003 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. A rotating component for driving the rotating cover plate 4022 to rotate is installed in the front cavity 606.

[0026] The scheme is further optimized. The rotating component includes an intermediate gear 1002 rotatably connected to the intermediate partition plate 10. Several impeller rods 1001 are connected at equal intervals on the rotating shaft of the intermediate gear 1002. Several edge gears 4021 are meshed on the outer side of the intermediate gear 1002. The second mode water nozzle 402 is installed on the edge gear 4021. The second mode water nozzle 402 is rotatably connected to the rotating cover plate 4022. The rotating cover plate 4022 and the intermediate plate 8 are rotatably connected and cooperate with the water channel plate 6 to form the front cavity 606.

[0027] When the second mode water jet 402 is switched for bathing, the water in the fourth water channel 604 flows sequentially through the rear cavity (605) and the oblique water inlet (1003). Under the action of the oblique water inlet (1003), the water flow pushes the impeller rod 1001, which drives the intermediate gear 1002 to rotate. The intermediate gear 1002 then drives the edge gear (4021) to rotate. (Refer to...) Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, there are three edge gears (4021). The edge gears (4021) will rotate along the outside of the middle gear 1002. At this time, the second mode water nozzle 402 will also push the rotating cover plate 4022 to rotate together. This realizes that the second mode water nozzle 402 sprays water in a rotating manner. Compared with the conventional fixed water spraying method, it is more comfortable to use.

[0028] In a further optimized design, a rear end cover 9 is provided on the rear side of the rear cavity 605, and the rear end cover 9 is detachably connected to the water channel plate 6. The detachable nature of the rear end cover 9 is to facilitate maintenance of the rotating parts.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
