Through this ingenious structural design, only one solenoid valve is needed for water circuit switching control, resulting in a simple, compact structure and low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0053] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0054] Please see Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a preferred embodiment of this utility model of a shower bubble machine includes a liquid storage bottle 10, a liquid pump 20, an air pump 30, a main body 40, a three-way pipe 50, a mixing tank 60, a solenoid valve 70, a switch 80, and a control board 90, etc. Wherein:
[0055] The storage bottle 10 is used to store cleaning agents, such as shower gel or shampoo.
[0056] The liquid pump 20 has a liquid pump inlet 21 and a liquid pump outlet 22. The liquid pump inlet 21 is connected to the outlet 11 of the storage bottle to draw out the cleaning agent in the storage bottle.
[0057] Air pump 30 has an air outlet 31 and is used to supply compressed air to mixing tank 60;
[0058] The main body 40 has a water inlet 41 and a water outlet 42. The water inlet 41 is used to connect to a water source, and the water outlet 42 is used to connect to a shower head.
[0059] The three-way pipe 50 is installed on the main body 40 and has a three-way inlet 51, a three-way first outlet 52 and a three-way second outlet 53. The three-way inlet 51 is connected to the water inlet interface 41, the three-way second outlet 53 is connected to the water outlet interface 42, the three-way first outlet 52 is directly connected to the three-way inlet 51, and the three-way second outlet 53 is connected to the three-way inlet 51 through a valve port 54.
[0060] The mixing tank 60 is mounted on the main body 40 and has a mixing chamber 61 and a water inlet 62, an air inlet 63, a liquid inlet 64 and a bubble outlet 65 that are respectively connected to the mixing chamber 61. The water inlet 62 is connected to the first outlet 52 of the three-way valve, the air inlet 63 is connected to the air outlet 31 of the air pump 30, the liquid inlet 64 is connected to the outlet 22 of the liquid pump, and the bubble outlet 65 is connected to the water outlet 42.
[0061] Solenoid valve 70 is used to control the opening and closing of valve port 54. When solenoid valve 70 opens valve port 54, water flows through valve port 54 to the second outlet 53 of the three-way valve, and clean water flows out of water outlet 42, and the shower bubble machine is in clean water mode. When solenoid valve 70 closes valve port 54, water flows through the first outlet 52 of the three-way valve to the inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60, and bubble water with foam flows out of water outlet 42, and the shower bubble machine is in bubble water mode. Solenoid valve 70 is in the normally open state, that is, when switch 80 is not triggered, solenoid valve 70 is in the state of opening valve port 54, and the shower bubble machine is normally in clean water mode. After switch 80 is triggered, solenoid valve 70 switches to the state of closing valve port 54, and the shower bubble machine switches to bubble water mode.
[0062] The control board 90 is electrically connected to the switch 80, the liquid pump 20, the air pump 30 and the solenoid valve 70. After receiving a signal that the switch 80 is triggered, the control board 90 controls the liquid pump 20 and the air pump 30 to turn on and controls the solenoid valve 70 to close.
[0063] Preferably, the liquid storage bottle 10 may include two or more. Correspondingly, the number of liquid pumps 20 and switches 80 is the same as the number of liquid storage bottles 10, also two or more. Each liquid storage bottle 10, liquid pump 20, and switch 80 corresponds one-to-one. When one of the switches 80 is triggered, the corresponding liquid pump 20 draws the cleaning agent from the corresponding liquid storage bottle 10 into the mixing tank 60. Specifically, in this embodiment, two liquid storage bottles 10 are provided, one of which can be used to store shower gel, and the other can be used to store shampoo.
[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, the mixing chamber 61 includes a first mixing chamber 611 and a second mixing chamber 612 that are connected to each other. A water inlet 62 and a liquid inlet 64 are respectively located at opposite ends of the first mixing chamber 611, allowing water and detergent to flow against each other within the first mixing chamber 611 to form a mixture. An air inlet 63 and a foam outlet 65 are respectively connected to the second mixing chamber 612. The mixture flows into the second mixing chamber 612 and mixes with air flowing in through the air inlet 63 to form foam. First, the water and detergent are mixed against each other in the first mixing chamber 611, resulting in a better mixing effect. The mixed solution then flows into the second mixing chamber 612 and mixes with air flowing in through the air inlet 63 to form foam. This staged mixing and foaming process results in better foaming, saving detergent and producing finer foam. Furthermore, several layers of foaming netting can be spaced along the foaming direction in the second mixing chamber 612 to further enhance the formation of richer foam.
[0065] To prevent the fluid (including liquid and gas) in the mixing chamber 61 from flowing back into the liquid pump 20 and the air pump 30, one-way valves 66 are respectively installed at the air inlet 63 and the liquid inlet 64 in the mixing tank 60. The one-way valves 66 can adopt existing known structures, as long as they can control the fluid to flow into the mixing chamber 61 in one direction from the pump.
[0066] In this embodiment, the main body 40 includes a water channel plate 43, which includes a lower plate 431 and an upper plate 432 fixedly connected. The water channel plate 43 has a spaced-apart inlet chamber 433, a water passage chamber 434, and a bubble outlet chamber 435. The upper plate 432 has a first interface 44, a second interface 45, and a third interface 46, while the lower plate 431 has an inlet interface 41 and an outlet interface 42. The first interface 44 and the inlet interface 41 are respectively connected to the inlet chamber 433. The second interface 45 and the inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60 are respectively connected to the water passage chamber 434. The third interface 46, the outlet interface 42, and the bubble outlet 65 are respectively connected to the bubble outlet chamber 435. The tee inlet 51 is sealed and plugged into the first interface 44, the tee first outlet 52 is sealed and plugged into the second interface 45, and the tee second outlet 53 is sealed and plugged into the third interface 46. In this way, the water circuit is integrated and set up through the water circuit board 43, and the entire water circuit structure is very compact, simple, and easy to manufacture and assemble.
[0067] In this embodiment, the third interface 46 is arranged opposite to the water outlet interface 42, and the axial projection of the water outlet interface 42 on the third interface 46 completely covers the third interface 46. With this arrangement, the water outlet interface 42 is connected to both the third interface 46 and the bubble chamber 435 at the same time, and it hardly affects the flow of clean water directly into the water outlet interface 42 through the third interface 46 and then out through the water outlet interface 42. The structure is simple and the design is ingenious.
[0068] To reduce noise generated by vibration during operation of the liquid pump 20, in this embodiment, a cantilever beam 47 is provided on one side of the main body 40, and a liquid pump mounting base 23 for mounting the liquid pump 20 is provided at the end of the cantilever beam 47 away from the main body 40. In this way, the liquid pump mounting base 23 can be suspended in the air by the cantilever beam 47, and the vibration generated by the liquid pump 20 during operation can only be transmitted to the main body 40 through the cantilever beam 47, greatly reducing the vibration amplitude, thereby helping to reduce the operating noise of the liquid pump 20 and improving the user experience.
[0069] To further enhance the user experience, this embodiment designs the foam concentration of the bubble solution to be adjustable. Specifically, this is achieved as follows: a flow regulating plug 621 is installed at the inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60. The flow regulating plug 621 is rotatably mounted on the main body 40 in a sealed manner. The inner end of the flow regulating plug 621 is located inside the main body 40 and cooperates with the inlet 62. By rotating the flow regulating plug 621, the flow cross-sectional area of the inlet 62 is controlled. The outer end of the flow regulating plug 621 protrudes from the main body 40 for manual operation. In this way, the flow rate of the water used for foaming can be adjusted by rotating the flow regulating plug 621. When the water flow rate is high, the foam is sparse; when the water flow rate is low, the foam is dense, thus achieving adjustment of the foam concentration. The structure is very simple and the adjustment is very convenient.
[0070] More specifically, the inner wall of the inlet 62 is designed as a conical surface, and the outer wall of the inner end of the flow regulating plug 621 is also designed as a conical surface. The flow cross-sectional area of the inlet 62 is adjusted through the cooperation of the two conical surfaces, making the adjustment more reliable.
[0071] Furthermore, to prevent the flow regulating valve 621 from completely blocking the inlet 62 and thus preventing bubbles from being produced, in this embodiment, the flow regulating valve 621 is provided with a fixed flow channel 6211, allowing water from the first outlet 52 of the tee to flow into the inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60 through the fixed flow channel 6211. This ensures that when the shower bubble machine is in bubble water mode, there is always water flowing into the mixing tank 60 through the inlet 62.
[0072] This embodiment also includes a housing 100 and a battery 110. The battery 110 powers the control board 90. The liquid pump 20, air pump 30, main body 40, three-way pipe 50, mixing tank 60, solenoid valve 70, control board 90, and battery 110 are all housed inside the housing 100. The switch 80 is located on the housing 100 and protrudes from it. The battery 110 is detachably installed in the battery cavity 1003 within the housing 100. This design results in a very simple and compact overall structure, better integration of the shower bubble machine, and direct power supply from the built-in battery 110, eliminating the need for connection to mains power and making it more flexible to use.
[0073] In this embodiment, a connector 1001 is provided through the top wall of the outer casing 100. The outer end of the connector 1001 is detachably connected to the outlet 11 of the liquid storage bottle, and the inner end of the connector 1001 is connected to the inlet 21 of the liquid pump through a connecting pipe (not shown). The bottom wall of the outer casing 100 is provided with a clearance hole 1002 for the water inlet interface 41 and the water outlet interface 42 to pass through. The opening of the battery cavity 1003 is located on the bottom wall of the outer casing 100. In this way, it is very convenient to disassemble and assemble the liquid storage bottle 10 and the battery 110. In addition, a knob 1004 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the outer casing 100. The knob 1004 has an internal spline, and the flow regulating plug 621 has an external spline on its exposed outer end of the main body 40. Through the cooperation of the internal spline and the external spline, the knob 1004 can drive the flow regulating plug 621 to rotate. Thus, the water flow can be adjusted by driving the knob 1004 to drive the flow regulating plug 621 from below the outer casing 100. The operation is very convenient and simple.
[0074] The working process of this embodiment is briefly described as follows:
[0075] See Figure 9 At this point, under normal conditions, switch 80 is not triggered, solenoid valve 70 is in the open valve port 54 state, and the water flow from inlet port 41 passes through inlet chamber 433 and three-way inlet 51 into three-way pipe 50, and flows directly from the second outlet 53 of the three-way to outlet port 42, and then flows out clean water through outlet port 42. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 The dashed line with arrows indicates the water flow path. During this process, liquid pump 20 and air pump 30 are not activated, and no cleaning agent or air is delivered for foaming.
[0076] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 At this time, the user triggers switch 80. The control board 90 receives the signal that switch 80 has been triggered, controls the liquid pump 20 and air pump 30 to turn on, and controls the solenoid valve 70 to close. The water flow from the water inlet 41 passes through the water inlet chamber 433 and the three-way inlet 51 into the three-way pipe 50, and flows out through the first outlet 52 of the three-way pipe to the water passage chamber 434, and then flows through the water passage chamber 434 to the water inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60. At the same time, the cleaning agent from the liquid pump 20 enters the first mixing chamber 611 of the mixing tank 60 from the liquid inlet 64. Since the water inlet 62 and the liquid inlet 64 are set opposite each other, the water flow and the cleaning agent form a countercurrent in the first mixing chamber 611 of the mixing tank 60, so that the water flow and the cleaning agent are evenly mixed to form a mixture. The mixed mixture further flows into the second mixing chamber 612 of the mixing tank 60 and mixes with the air sent into the second mixing chamber 612 by the air pump 30 through the air inlet 63 to create foam. The foam generated during foaming flows out from the foam outlet 65 of the mixing tank 60, flows through the foam outlet chamber 435 to the water outlet 42, and then flows out as bubble water through the water outlet 42. (See also...) Figure 10 and Figure 11 The following are represented by lines: A1 for clean water, A2 for cleaning agents, A3 for air, A4 for mixtures, and A5 for bubble solution.
[0077] This utility model discloses a shower bubble machine by incorporating a three-way pipe and a solenoid valve. The three-way pipe has a three-way inlet, a first three-way outlet, and a second three-way outlet. The three-way inlet is connected to the water inlet, the second three-way outlet is connected to the water outlet, the first three-way outlet is directly connected to the three-way inlet, and the second three-way outlet is connected to the three-way inlet via a valve port. Furthermore, the first three-way outlet is connected to the water inlet of the mixing tank. The solenoid valve controls the opening and closing of the valve port. When the solenoid valve opens, water flows from the three-way inlet to the second three-way outlet through the valve port. At this time, clean water flows out of the outlet, and the shower bubble machine is in clean water mode. When the solenoid valve closes, water from the three-way inlet flows through the first outlet to the mixing tank inlet, and foamy water flows out of the outlet, putting the shower bubble machine in bubble water mode. The solenoid valve is normally open, meaning that when the switch is not triggered, the solenoid valve is open, and the shower bubble machine is normally in clean water mode. After the switch is triggered, the solenoid valve switches to closed mode, and the shower bubble machine switches to bubble water mode. Through this ingenious structural design, only one solenoid valve is needed for water circuit switching control, resulting in a simple, compact structure and low cost.
