Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Shower units are a key component of bathroom systems, primarily designed to provide a convenient and comfortable bathing experience. Users typically turn off the water, apply soap or cleansing liquid (such as shower gel) to their bodies to create lather, and then rinse thoroughly with water. This method of manually applying and lathering soap is inefficient.

[0003] As people's demands for quality of life and diverse needs increase, the function of shower devices is no longer limited to simply rinsing with water. More and more users are demanding multifunctional shower devices. Existing shower devices add cleaning solution directly to the water outlet, mixing it with the water and improving convenience for users. However, due to the high water flow rate, some viscous cleaning solution may not be diluted during the shower, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It is understood that this specification should be regarded as an exemplary illustration of the principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention to what is described herein.

Furthermore, it should be noted that this specification describes many features.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shower device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the shower device 10 shown. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A partial structural schematic diagram of the shower device 10 shown. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of the shower device 10 along the A1-A2 position. Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The shower device 10 shown is a partial structure along the A1-A2 position, and the shower device 10 may include: a pipe structure 11, a switching valve 12 and a foam generator 13.

[0065] The pipeline structure 11 may include an inlet water path s4, a first through water path s1, a second through water path s2, and a mixing outlet water path s3. Both the first through water path s1 and the second through water path s2 are connected to the mixing outlet water path s3. The first through water path s1 and the second through water path s2 can connect the inlet water path s4 and the mixing outlet water path s3. The mixing outlet water path s3 may have two inlets and one outlet. The outlets of the first through water path s1 and the second through water path s2 can be connected to the two inlets of the mixing outlet water path s3, respectively. The liquid discharged from the outlet of the mixing outlet water path s3 can be used by the user. The inlet water path s4 may have an inlet k1, which is connected to a water source, including tap water or a water storage tank. The mixing outlet water path s3 may have an outlet k2.

[0066] The switching valve 12 can be located between the inlet water passage s4 and the first water passage s1 and the second water passage s2, and is used to connect the inlet water passage s4 with the first water passage s1 and the second water passage s2, or to connect the inlet water passage s4 with the first water passage s1.

[0067] The foam generator 13 has a foaming component 131, which is installed between the first water passage s1 and the mixing outlet water passage s3, and is connected to both the first water passage s1 and the mixing outlet water passage s3. The foam generator 13 has an on state and a off state. When the foam generator 13 is in the on state, the foaming component 131 can generate foam liquid. When the foam generator 13 is in the off state, the foaming component 131 does not generate foam liquid.

[0068] For example, the switching valve 12 can move between a first position and a second position. When the switching valve 12 is in the first position, the outlet of the inlet water path s4 is connected to the inlet of the first water passage s1 and the inlet of the second water passage s2, respectively. At this time, the water in the inlet water path s4 can be divided into two streams, which flow through the first water passage s1 and the second water passage s2 to the mixing outlet water path s3, respectively. The foam generator 13 can be in the closed state, so that clean water can flow out of the mixing outlet water path s3. When the switching valve 12 is in the second position, the outlet of the inlet water path s4 is only connected to the inlet of the first water passage s1. At this time, the water in the inlet water path s4 is a single stream, which flows through the first water passage s1 to the foam generator 13 to mix with the outlet water path s3. The foam generator 13 can be in the open state, so that foam liquid is generated when the water flows through the foam generator 13, allowing foam liquid to flow out of the mixing outlet water path s3.

[0069] Thus, the shower device 10 can have two operating modes: a clean water mode and a foam liquid mode. When the user needs to use cleaning products (such as cleaning liquid or shower gel), the shower device can be switched to the foam liquid mode. In this mode, the cleaning liquid or shower gel is mixed with water by the foaming component 131 to generate fine foam liquid. The user does not need to apply and rub the foam liquid to form it, which can improve the user's cleaning efficiency and user experience.

[0070] Furthermore, in the foam liquid dispensing mode, only the first water passage s1 and the foaming component for dispensing foam are in a conductive state, while the second water passage s2 is in a closed state. In this way, the water flow in the second water passage s2 can be prevented from affecting the foam liquid generated by the foaming component 131. For example, the foam liquid can be prevented from being diluted, which would weaken the cleaning power.

[0071] Since the foam liquid may contain grease or additives, if the cleaning product remains or settles in the foaming component 131 and the mixing water outlet s3 for a long time, it may cause problems such as blockage or mold growth. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, after the foam liquid dispensing mode is used, the first water outlet s1 and the second water outlet s2 in the clean water mode are both in a conductive state. In this way, the water flow in the second water outlet s2 can clean the foam liquid remaining in the foaming component 131, and avoid the cleaning product remaining in the foaming component 131 and the mixing water outlet s3.

[0072] Furthermore, during the process of switching the water path using valve 12, that is, during the process of switching the usage mode of the shower device 10, there is a continuous water flow in the first water path s1, which allows the shower device 10 to maintain a relatively stable liquid output and avoid water flow interruption during the switching process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0073] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a shower device 10 including a pipe structure 11, a switching valve 12, and a foam generator 13. The pipe structure 11 includes an inlet water passage s4, a first water passage s1, a second water passage s2, and a mixed water outlet passage s3. The switching valve 12 is used to connect the inlet water passage s4 with the first water passage s1 and the second water passage s2, or to connect the inlet water passage s4 with the first water passage s1. The foaming component 131 of the foam generator 13 is installed between the first water passage s1 and the mixed water outlet passage s3. By adjusting the position of the switching valve 12, the shower device 10 can switch between a clean water mode and a foam liquid mode, eliminating the need for the user to manually apply and rub the foam liquid, thus improving the user's cleaning efficiency and user experience.

[0074] Furthermore, in the foam liquid dispensing mode, the second water passage s2 is in a closed state, which can prevent the water flow in the second water passage s2 from diluting the foam liquid. In the clean water dispensing mode, both the first and second water passages are in a conductive state, and the water flow in the second water passage s2 can clean the residual foam liquid in the foaming component 131, preventing residual cleaning product in the foaming component 131 and the mixing water dispensing passage s3.

[0075] In addition, during the process of switching the water path by switching valve 12, there is a continuous water flow in the first water path s1, which can ensure that the shower device 10 can maintain a relatively stable liquid output and avoid water flow interruption during the switching process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a partial structural diagram provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of a shower device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In an optional embodiment, the foam generator 13 may further include a liquid storage box 132 and a power component 133. The power component 133 is connected to the liquid storage box 132 and the foaming component 131 respectively. The liquid storage box 132 can be used to store cleaning liquid or shower gel. The shower device 10 may further include a drive component 14 and a control component 17. The drive component 14 is used to drive the switching valve 12 to move between a first position and a second position. The control component 17 is electrically connected to the drive component 14 and the power component 133 and is used to turn the drive component 14 and the power component 133 on or off.

[0077] Specifically, when the switching valve 12 is in the first position and the power component 133 is off, both the first water passage s1 and the second water passage s2 are connected to the inlet water passage s4. When the switching valve 12 is in the second position and the power component 133 is on, the first water passage s1 is connected to the inlet water passage s4, causing the foaming component 131 to generate foam liquid. The drive component 14 can turn off the power component 133 to shut down the foam generator 13 when the switching valve 12 is driven to the first position, and can also turn on the power component 133 to turn on the foam liquid dispenser when the switching valve 12 is driven to the second position. Thus, by synchronously controlling the switching valve 12 and the power component 133 through the drive component 14, the water channel switching and the opening or closing of the foam generator 13 can be kept synchronized.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 8 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the partial structure of the shower device 10 shown from another perspective. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a portion of the shower device 10 along the B1-B2 position. Figure 10 yes Figure 8 The diagram shows another cross-sectional view of a partial structure of the shower device 10 along the B1-B2 position. Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cam 142 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In an optional embodiment, the drive assembly 14 includes a drive motor 141 and a cam 142. The drive motor 141 is fixedly connected to the pipe structure 11 and electrically connected to the control assembly 17. The cam 142 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 141, and the edge of the cam 142 abuts against the switching valve 12. The drive motor 141 is used to drive the cam 142 to rotate between a third position and a fourth position. When the cam 142 is in the third position, the switching valve 12 is in the first position. When the cam 142 is in the fourth position, the switching valve 12 is in the second position.

[0079] The control component 17 can be used to control the operating state of the drive motor 141 and the opening and closing of the power component 133. For example, the control component 17 may include a controller or a circuit board.

[0080] For example, the control component 17 may include a double-pole double-throw switch (DPDT) to ensure synchronous switching of two signals through mechanical linkage, thereby realizing coordinated start-stop and direction control of the power component 133 and the drive motor 141.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an optional embodiment, the drive assembly 14 may further include a first switch 144 and a second switch 145. The edge of the cam 142 has a first protrusion t1 and a second protrusion t2. The first switch 144 and the second switch 145 are respectively located on both sides of the cam 142 and are both electrically connected to the drive motor 141. The first switch 144 has a first trigger end, and the second switch 145 has a second trigger end. When the cam 142 rotates to a third position, the first protrusion t1 triggers the first trigger end, and the first switch 144 can send a stop signal to the drive motor 141. When the cam 142 rotates to a fourth position, the second protrusion t2 triggers the second trigger end, and the second switch 145 can send a stop signal to the drive motor 141. The first switch 144 and the second switch 145 can cause the drive motor 141 to stop rotating immediately after it reaches its designated position.

[0082] In one optional embodiment, the shower device 10 may include a housing 15, in which the pipe structure 11, power component 133, and foaming component 131 can all be installed. A switch button 143 can be provided on the housing 15. The drive motor 141, power component 133, switch button 143, first switch 144, and second switch 145 can all be electrically connected to a controller. The user can send a signal to the control component 17 via the switch button 143, and the controller can control the drive motor 141 and power component 133 to turn on or off. For example, after the shower device 10 has been in foaming liquid mode for a period of time (e.g., 20 seconds), the controller can time-lapse and shut off the power component 133, and control the drive motor 141 to reverse, thereby switching the shower device 10 to clean water mode. In one exemplary embodiment, when the user sends a signal to the controller via the switch button 143 to turn on the power assembly 133 and rotate the drive motor 141, the drive motor 141 can rotate immediately. When the cam 142 rotates to the fourth position and triggers the second switch 145, the second switch 145 sends a rotation to the controller. At this time, the controller controls the power assembly 133 to turn on.

Driven by the air pump 1331, the diffuser g2 can generate multiple airflows through the multiple gas diffusion holes to further enhance the foaming degree of the foam liquid. The first filter assembly can improve the density of the foam liquid, thereby improving the quality of the generated foam liquid.

[0088] The shower device 10 may also include a second filter structure g4, which is installed at the outlet of the mixing liquid pipe and can further enhance the density of the foam liquid, thereby improving the quality of the generated foam liquid.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 5 Optionally, the shower device 10 may further include a regulating valve 16; the regulating valve 16 is installed in the first water passage s1 and is used to regulate the water flow rate in the first water passage s1. By adjusting the water flow rate in the first water passage s1, the mixing ratio of water and foam liquid can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the amount of foam produced to improve the applicability of the shower device 10. The housing 15 may have an adjusting knob connected to the regulating valve 16, and the user can control the regulating valve 16 by rotating the adjusting knob.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, the shower device 10 further includes three one-way valves, which can be respectively installed at the inlet q1 of the liquid inlet head 1311, the inlet q1 of the mixing air inlet pipe 1312, and the inlet of the mixing water outlet s3 and the second water passage s2.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 18 , Figure 18 yes Figure 8 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a partial structure of the shower device 10 along position C1-C2. The pipe structure 11 may also include a water inlet pipe 113. The shower device may also include a water source pipe and a water inlet valve. The water inlet pipe 113 is connected to a water source through the water source pipe. The water inlet valve is installed on the water source pipe. The water inlet path s4 is set in the water inlet pipe 113. The water inlet pipe 113 is connected to the water inlet end of the main pipe 111.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 , Figure 19 This is a schematic diagram of the operation process of a shower device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where Y represents yes and N represents no. In an exemplary embodiment, a water flow detection element 18 is provided at the water inlet k1 of the shower device to detect whether water flows through the water inlet k1. If water flows through the water inlet k1, the water flow detection element 18 can send a signal to the control component. At this time, if the user presses the switch button, the switch button can send a start signal to the controller to start the control component. If no water flows through the water inlet k1, even if the user presses the switch button, the control component cannot be started, which can avoid user misoperation.

[0093] For example, when water flows through the inlet k1, the water flow detection element 18 detects the presence of water. When the user turns on the switch, the control component detects that the current state of the drive motor is: motor position 1 (water outlet). The control component turns on the drive motor and stops rotating it after it reaches motor position 2 (bubble outlet). The control component then turns on the liquid pump and air pump. At this time, the LED on the switch button lights up, the shower device starts discharging bubbles, and the control component starts a countdown. After the countdown ends, the control component controls the motor to reverse and stops rotating it after it reaches motor position 1 (water outlet). Then, the liquid pump and air pump are turned off. At this time, the LED on the switch button goes out, and the bubble discharging process of the shower device ends.

[0094] It should be noted that the dimensions of the areas may have been exaggerated in the accompanying drawings for clarity. Furthermore, it is understood that when an element is referred to as "on top of" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or there may be intermediate elements. Additionally, it is understood that when an element is referred to as "below" another element, it can be directly below the other element, or there may be more than one intermediate element. Furthermore, it is also understood that when an element is referred to as "between" two elements, it can be the only layer between the two elements, or there may be more than one intermediate element. Similar reference numerals throughout indicate similar elements.

[0095] In this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise expressly defined.

[0096] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
