Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and more specifically, to a push-to-switch shower head with a pause function for water flow. Background Technology

[0002] Most push-button showerheads on the market today have a structure similar to the push-button showerhead disclosed in Chinese patent CN115999791A. This design uses a push button on the showerhead to drive a switching mechanism, switching the water flow. In this type of design, the required sliding stroke of the push button increases with the number of settings. This means that a longer sliding groove is needed in a multi-functional showerhead for the push button to slide. Consequently, the exposed area of ​​the push button and sliding groove on the handle is large, reducing the showerhead's aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the push button only has a single function of switching the water flow; if stopping the water flow is required, a separate switch is needed, resulting in numerous switches on the showerhead and affecting its appearance. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a push-to-switch shower head with a pause function, which aims to improve the problems of large exposed area affecting the appearance and limited function of existing push-to-switch structures.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] A push-button switchable shower head with water pause function includes a shower head body and a switching mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and a water pause mechanism disposed on the shower head body. The shower head body has an inlet water passage and multiple outlet water passages. The switching mechanism includes a push button exposed on the shower head body. The push button can be operably driven to swing, thereby driving the transmission mechanism to rotate the water distribution component, thereby switching the outlet water passage connected to the inlet water passage. The water pause mechanism disposed on the inlet water passage can be controlled to open and close by pressing the push button.

[0006] As a further improvement, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission member with a rack portion and a second transmission member with a gear portion, the rack portion and the gear portion being meshed together, the first transmission member being configured to be driven to move via the switching structure, and the second transmission member being coaxially arranged with the water distribution member.

[0007] As a further improvement, the first transmission member has a drive groove at one end away from the rack portion, the push button is hinged to the shower head body, and has a swing portion for insertion into the drive groove.

[0008] As a further improvement, the shower head body is provided with a water distribution chamber, the water distribution chamber has a water outlet that corresponds to and is connected to each water outlet path, the water distribution component is disposed in the water distribution chamber, and when the water distribution outlet on the water distribution component is aligned with the water outlet, the corresponding water outlet path is connected to the water inlet path.

[0009] As a further improvement, the handle of the shower body is provided with a groove for accommodating the swing of the push button, and a roller-shaped drive member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the push button. The length of the groove is not greater than the diameter of the drive member.

[0010] As a further improvement, anti-slip textures are provided along the outer wall of the drive component.

[0011] As a further improvement, the handle of the shower head body is provided with a water passage cavity, the water passage cavity has a water passage hole, and the water stop mechanism is disposed in the water passage cavity. When the water stop mechanism's water blocking member is aligned with the water passage hole, the water stop mechanism is in a closed state.

[0012] As a further improvement, the water-stopping mechanism also includes a connecting plate, a shaft, and an elastic element. The connecting plate is linked to the push button, the water-blocking element is sleeved on the shaft, and the elastic element abuts against the water-blocking element and the water passage cavity.

[0013] As a further improvement, one end of the connecting plate is hinged to the shower head body, the other end abuts against the shaft, and a relief groove is provided in the middle. The push button is used to abut against the relief groove with the support arm that is hinged to the shower head body.

[0014] As a further improvement, the shaft is provided with a first helical tooth and the water-blocking component is provided with a second helical tooth. When the push button is pressed, the connecting plate abuts against the shaft and moves axially, so that the first helical tooth abuts against the second helical tooth, thereby driving the water-blocking component to rotate.

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

[0016] 1. This application utilizes a single push button to switch the water outlet path and control the on / off state of the inlet water path, thereby increasing the push button's functionality and reducing the need for separate switches. The push button's linkage mechanism uses an oscillating motion instead of a moving motion, reducing the area of ​​the switching mechanism exposed on the showerhead body and resulting in a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Users can adjust the water flow steplessly by pushing the button, and press it to pause the water flow when applying personal care products, ensuring user convenience. Furthermore, the different operation methods for switching water paths and pausing water control prevent accidental operation.

[0017] 2. The handle of the shower head body is provided with a groove for accommodating the swing of the push button. A roller-shaped drive component is fitted around the outer periphery of the push button. The length of the groove is not greater than the diameter of the drive component. The short length of the groove and the roller design ensure that the drive component always fills the groove when the push button is moved, making the overall appearance of the shower head more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] 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

[0039] Combination Figures 1 to 16This embodiment provides a push-to-switch shower head with water pause function, including a shower head body 1 and a switching mechanism 2, a transmission mechanism 3 and a water pause mechanism 4 disposed on the shower head body 1. The shower head body 1 is provided with an inlet water passage 11 and multiple outlet water passages 12. The switching mechanism 2 includes a push button 21 exposed on the shower head body 1. The push button 21 is driven to swing in an operable manner to drive the water distribution component 13 to rotate in conjunction with the transmission mechanism 3, thereby switching the outlet water passage 12 connected to the inlet water passage 11. The water pause mechanism 4 disposed on the inlet water passage 11 can be controlled to open and close by pressing the push button 21.

[0040] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a single push button 21 can be used to switch the water outlet path 12 and control the on / off state of the water inlet path 11 by linking the water distribution component 13, thereby increasing the functionality of the push button 21 and reducing the number of switches. The push button 21 is linked to the transmission mechanism 3 by oscillation rather than movement, which reduces the area of ​​the switching mechanism 2 exposed on the shower head body 1, resulting in a simpler and more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Users can adjust the water flow steplessly by pushing the push button 21, and press the push button 21 to pause the water flow when applying personal care products, making it convenient for users. Furthermore, the different operation methods for switching water paths and pausing water control prevent accidental operation by the user.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission mechanism 3 includes a first transmission member 31 with a rack portion 311 and a second transmission member 32 with a gear portion 321. The rack portion 311 and the gear portion 321 are meshed together. The first transmission member 31 is configured to be driven to move via a switching structure, and the second transmission member 32 is coaxially arranged with the water distribution member 13. Further, the end of the first transmission member 31 away from the rack portion 311 is provided with a drive groove 312. The push button 21 is hinged to the shower body 1 and is provided with a swing portion 211 for insertion into the drive groove 312. For example, the push button 21 is provided with a support arm 212. The shower body 1 is provided with a shaft hole for fitting the support arm 212. During installation, the support arm 212 is pressed into the shaft hole, and the exposed end of the push button 21 is pushed so that the swing portion 211 can swing around the support arm 212, thereby abutting against the drive groove 312 and driving the first transmission member 31 to move. When the first transmission component 31 moves, it drives the second transmission component 32 to rotate, so that the water distribution component 13 rotates synchronously.

[0042] Preferably, the shower head body 1 is provided with a water distribution chamber, which has water outlets 14 that are connected to each water outlet path 12 in a one-to-one manner. A water distribution component 13 is disposed in the water distribution chamber. When the water outlet on the water distribution component 13 is aligned with the water outlet 14, the corresponding water outlet path 12 is connected to the water inlet path 11. Each water outlet path 12 is connected to a type of water outlet, and each water outlet emits a different water spray, thereby meeting the user's usage needs.

[0043] In another embodiment, the handle 15 of the shower head body 1 is provided with a groove 151 for accommodating the swing of the push button 21. A roller-shaped drive member 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the push button 21, and the length of the groove 151 is not greater than the diameter of the drive member 22. The short length of the groove 151 and the roller arrangement ensure that the drive member 22 always fills the groove 151 when the push button 21 is pushed, making the overall appearance of the shower head more aesthetically pleasing. Preferably, anti-slip texture is provided along the outer wall of the drive member 22 to facilitate the user's application of force to the push button 21 and prevent slippage during use.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the handle 15 of the shower body 1 is provided with a water passage cavity 16, which has a water passage hole 161. The water stop mechanism 4 is disposed in the water passage cavity 16. When the water stop mechanism 4's water blocking member 41 is aligned with the water passage hole 161, the water stop mechanism 4 is in a closed state. Further, the water stop mechanism 4 also includes a connecting plate 42, a shaft 43, and an elastic member 44. The connecting plate 42 is linked to the push button 21. The water blocking member 41 is sleeved on the shaft 43, and the elastic member 44 abuts between the water blocking member 41 and the water passage cavity 16. For example, one end of the connecting plate 42 is hinged to the shower body 1, and the other end abuts against the shaft 43. A relief groove 421 is provided in the middle. The push button 21 is used to abut against the relief groove 421 for its support arm 212, which is hinged to the shower body 1. The shaft 43 is provided with a first helical tooth 431, and the water-blocking component 41 is provided with a second helical tooth 411. When the push button 21 is pressed, the support arm 212 abuts against the connecting plate 42 and swings to make the shaft 43 move axially. At this time, the first helical tooth 431 abuts against the second helical tooth 411, thereby driving the water-blocking component 41 to rotate.

[0045] The elastic element 44 can be a spring. The connecting plate 42 has a rotating part 422, and the shower head body 1 has a slot that engages with the rotating part 422, allowing the connecting plate 42 to rotate at one end abutting the shaft 43. Pressing the push button 21 causes the connecting plate 42 to abut against the shaft 43, which in turn abuts against the water-blocking element 41, compressing the spring. Releasing the push button 21 causes the connecting plate 42 to reset under the action of the spring. For example, when the water-blocking element 41 is pressed for the first time, its water-blocking part rotates to align with the water passage 161, thus closing the water-stopping mechanism 4 and disconnecting the water flow in the inlet water passage 11. When the water-blocking element 41 is pressed for the second time, its water-blocking part rotates to a position misaligned with the water passage 161, opening the water-stopping mechanism 4 and allowing water to flow in the inlet water passage 11. This cycle repeats to achieve water-stopping control, but is not limited to this specific method.

[0046] 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.
