Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and in particular to a side-spray shower head. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demands for showering experiences are also increasing. Furthermore, with rising work pressure, people often require back or waist massage. Currently, most side-spray and waist-spray showers on the market are fixed, limiting their use to different consumer groups and only suitable for users of a certain height. To address this issue, side-spray showers that can move freely up and down have been introduced to the market, with adjustable shower height, such as patent CN118847397A. This water outlet device allows for free switching of multiple water outlet modes to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. It employs a unique bottom-mounted self-locking clamping method, effectively ensuring the water outlet device maintains its force at any height. However, this solution has a drawback: its water outlet angle is fixed, and the water outlet position can only be adjusted by moving it up and down. To achieve water outlet angle adjustment, both the water outlet component and the mounting component need to be able to rotate relative to each other, and the rotating connection must simultaneously meet the dual requirements of "free rotation" and "tight water seal." Improper design of the flow channel in the rotating joint can lead to problems such as leakage or water flow obstruction. Utility Model Content

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4A side-spray shower head includes a mounting assembly 100, a water outlet assembly 200, and a connector 400. A switching assembly 300 is connected to either the left or right end of the water outlet assembly 200. The mounting assembly 100 is connected to the rear side of the water outlet assembly 200. The water outlet assembly 200 is rotatable relative to the mounting assembly 100. The mounting assembly 100 is used to connect to an external rod. The mounting assembly 100 is provided with an inlet 110 for connecting to an external water pipe. The water outlet assembly 200 has an inlet channel 210 and an outlet channel 220. The axis of the inlet channel 210 coincides with the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly 200. The rotation axis of the water outlet assembly 200 extends in the left-right direction. The connector 400 is fixed to the mounting assembly 100. The inlet end of the connector 400 is connected to the inlet 110. The outlet end of the connector 400 is coaxially connected to the inlet channel 210, and the two can rotate relative to each other. The water outlet assembly 200 has multiple water outlet channels 220 inside, corresponding to different water outlet modes. After the water flows through the inlet channel 210, the switching component 300 selects to connect with one of the water outlet channels 220, and finally sprays out from the corresponding nozzle. The connection between the connector 400 and the inlet channel 210 is equipped with a sealing ring, which effectively prevents water leakage while ensuring the flexibility of rotation. The mounting component 100 serves as the fixed base for the shower head and is fixed in the usage scenario by external rods (such as shower rods).

[0033] Water flows from an external water pipe through the inlet 110 of the mounting assembly 100 into the connector 400, and then flows through the outlet of the connector 400 into the inlet channel 210 of the outlet assembly 200. Since the axis of the inlet channel 210 coincides with the axis of rotation of the outlet assembly 200, and the connector 400 and the inlet channel 210 are coaxial and rotatable, the center position of the inlet channel 210 remains unchanged when the outlet assembly 200 rotates, avoiding pipe twisting, leakage, or water flow blockage caused by rotation, and ensuring stable water flow transmission during rotation.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 5-8 (in Figure 7(The dashed arrow in the middle indicates the direction of water flow). The side spray shower also includes a switching component 300. Multiple water outlet channels 220 are provided. The switching component 300 is connected to either the left or right end of the water outlet component 200. The switching component 300 is used to control the connection between the water inlet channel 210 and one of the water outlet channels 220. The switching component 300 includes a water distribution base 310 and a water distribution plate 320. The water distribution base 310 is fixedly connected to the water outlet component 200. The water distribution base 310 has a water distribution cavity 311, a water inlet hole 312 that connects to the water inlet channel 210, and multiple water outlet holes 313 that connect to the multiple water outlet channels 220 one by one. The water inlet hole 312 is connected to the water distribution cavity 311. The water distribution plate 320 is rotatably embedded in the water distribution cavity 311. The water distribution plate 320 is provided with a flow hole 321. The water distribution plate 320 can be rotated to a position where the flow hole 321 connects to any of the water outlet holes 313. The switching component 300 allows for manual operation (rotation, pressing, etc.) to change the position of the internal water distribution tray 320, thereby enabling the switching between the water inlet channel 210 and different water outlet channels 220. The water outlet component 200 is welded together with the water distribution base 310. When water flows through the connector 400 into the water distribution chamber 311 of the water distribution base 310, the rotation of the water distribution tray 320 switches the water outlet path between different water outlet channels 220.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the axes of the inlet hole 312 and the outlet hole 313 are parallel to the rotation axis of the outlet assembly 200, the axis of the water distribution cavity 311 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the outlet assembly 200, the water distribution seat 310 has multiple water distribution channels 314, the water distribution channels 314 are located below the water distribution cavity 311, the bottom of the water distribution cavity 311 has multiple water distribution holes 315, the water distribution holes 315, the water distribution channels 314 and the outlet hole 313 are paired and connected one-to-one, the switching assembly 300 also includes a push rod 330, the push rod 330 can move along the axial direction of the water distribution cavity 311, the push rod 330 contacts the water distribution plate 320 through a ramp structure, the ramp structure is used to convert the axial movement of the push rod 330 into the rotation of the water distribution plate 320. The axial movement of the push rod 330 can be driven by an external operating component (such as a button). The user only needs to press the push rod 330 in a straight line to indirectly drive the water distribution plate 320 to rotate through the inclined platform structure. This design converts complex rotational operation into simple linear motion. Compared with the knob switching method, the button switching method is more in line with the user's ergonomic habits.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the switching assembly 300 further includes a water-sealing cover 340, a first spring 350, and a second spring 360. The water-sealing cover 340 covers the top of the water distribution chamber 311, and the second spring 360 abuts against the water distribution plate 320 and the water-sealing cover 340. The water distribution base 310 has a first mounting hole 316, and multiple first inclined platforms 317 are spaced circumferentially within the first mounting hole 316. The top of each first inclined platform 317 has a first inclined surface, and a groove 318 is formed between two adjacent first inclined platforms 317. The upper end of the push rod 330 has multiple second inclined platforms 331 spaced circumferentially, and the top of each second inclined platform 331 has a second inclined surface. The push rod 330 passes through the first mounting hole 316, and the second inclined platform 331 is embedded in the groove 318. The top rod 330 is moved axially along the first mounting hole 316. The middle part of the water distribution plate 320 is provided with a second mounting hole 322. The second mounting hole 322 is located above the first mounting hole 316 and is coaxial with the first mounting hole 316. The first spring 350 is provided in the first mounting hole 316 and the second mounting hole 322. The upper end of the first spring 350 abuts against the water sealing cover 340 and the lower end abuts against the top rod 330. The lower end of the second mounting hole 322 is provided with a plurality of third inclined platforms 323 at circumferential intervals. The bottom of the third inclined platform 323 has a third inclined surface. The second inclined surface and the third inclined surface cooperate to abut against each other. The top rod 330 can push the water distribution plate 320 upward until the third inclined surface is higher than the first inclined surface. At this time, the third inclined surface can slide into the adjacent sliding groove 318 along the first inclined surface. In the initial state, the second inclined platform 331 and the third inclined platform 323 are located in the slide groove 318. When the push rod 330 is pressed, the push rod 330 overcomes the elastic force of the first spring 350 and the second spring 360 and moves upward along the axis until the third inclined surface is higher than the first inclined surface. After the third inclined platform 323 is disengaged from the slide groove 318, it loses its axial limit. Due to the existence of the inclined angle of the inclined surface, the axial force of the push rod 330 is converted into a tangential thrust on the water distribution plate 320, which forces the water distribution plate 320 to rotate until the third inclined platform 323 slides into the adjacent slide groove 318 along the first inclined surface, completing one switching action.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the connector 400 includes a connected inlet pipe section 410 and an outlet pipe section 420. The outlet pipe section 420 is coaxially connected to the inlet channel 210, and the axis of the inlet pipe section 410 is perpendicular to the axis of the outlet pipe section 420. The connector 400 is L-shaped, and the outlet pipe section 420 extends along the rotation axis of the outlet assembly 200, ensuring that the outlet pipe section 420 is always at the center of rotation when the outlet assembly 200 rotates around the axis, avoiding rotation jamming or pipe twisting caused by eccentricity.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting assembly 100 includes a main housing 120, and the connector 400 further includes a fixing plate 430. The fixing plate 430 is fixedly mounted on the water inlet pipe section 410 and is fixedly connected to the main housing 120. The water inlet pipe section 410 is directly fixed to the main housing 120 (the main structure of the mounting assembly 100) through the fixing plate 430 (e.g., by screw fastening, snap-fitting, or welding), ensuring that the connector 400 and the main housing 120 form a rigid whole, avoiding relative displacement caused by water pressure or external force collision.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the front side of the main housing 120 has a mounting ear 130, and the mounting ear 130 is provided with a limiting through hole 131. A screw post 230 is provided at the end of the water outlet assembly 200 away from the switching assembly 300. The limiting through hole 131, the screw post 230, and the water inlet channel 210 are coaxial. The screw post 230 is rotatably embedded in the limiting through hole 131. A first screw 231 is screwed into the screw post 230, and the diameter of the head of the first screw 231 is larger than the diameter of the limiting through hole 131. The screw post 230 serves as a rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the main housing 120, ensuring the stability of the axis when the water outlet assembly 200 rotates. Because the diameter of the head of the first screw 231 is larger than the diameter of the limiting through hole 131, when the water outlet assembly 200 is subjected to external force (such as water flow back thrust or user operation) and axially shifts, the head of the first screw 231 will be blocked by the edge of the limiting through hole 131, forming an axial limit.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water outlet assembly 200 includes a water outlet cover 240, which is arc-shaped. The inner side of the water outlet cover 240 is provided with several positioning grooves 241 along its circumference. The outer side of the mounting ear 130 is provided with a positioning pin hole 132. A positioning pin and a spring are installed in the positioning pin hole 132. The spring pushes against the positioning pin to make the positioning pin enter the positioning groove 241. The positioning pin can slide into any positioning groove 241 as the water outlet device rotates. The arc-shaped water outlet cover 240 is adapted to the rotating curved surface of the water outlet assembly 200. The depth and shape of the positioning groove 241 match the head of the positioning pin. When the water outlet assembly 200 rotates, the head of the positioning pin slides along the inner side of the arc under the spring's thrust. When it encounters a positioning groove 241, it falls into the groove, achieving angle locking. When the user applies external rotational force, the spring's thrust must be overcome to disengage the positioning pin from the current groove and slide into the next groove, so that the water outlet assembly 200 has a stop function when rotating to different angles.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 10It also includes a socket assembly 500 for inserting a handheld shower head. The mounting ear 130 forms a mounting cavity 133, and a limiting through hole 131 is located in the mounting cavity 133. The main housing 120 forms a mounting slot 140, which is arranged in the front-rear direction. The front end of the mounting slot 140 penetrates the side wall of the mounting cavity 133 and communicates with the mounting cavity 133. The rear end of the mounting slot 140 penetrates the rear wall of the main housing 120 and communicates with the outside. The socket assembly 500 has a mounting part 510, which is provided with a screw post 511. The mounting part 510 is embedded in the mounting cavity 133, and the screw post 511 is opposite to the mounting slot 140. A second screw 512 is inserted from the rear end of the mounting slot 140 to connect the main housing 120 and the mounting part 510. The shape of the mounting part 510 is adapted to the shape of the mounting cavity 133. The mounting ear 130 is used to install both the screw post 230 and the socket assembly 500, integrating the two functional components in the same area, avoiding extra space occupation and maintaining a compact overall structure. The mounting slot 140 of the main housing 120 is arranged in the front-to-back direction, with the front end communicating with the mounting cavity 133 (for positioning the mounting part 510) and the rear end extending to the outside (to facilitate the insertion of the second screw 512 from the back of the main housing 120). This design allows the screw fixing process to be performed without disassembling the front components, only from the back, improving assembly efficiency, while avoiding the screws being exposed on the front and affecting aesthetics.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 9 The mounting assembly 100 also includes a limiting member 150. The main housing 120 is provided with a receiving groove 121 for the rod to pass through. The receiving groove 121 has an opening 122 formed on the back of the main housing 120. The rod can be installed into the receiving groove 121 through the opening 122. The limiting member 150 is connected to the main housing 120 to close the opening 122. The detachable connection between the main housing 120 and the limiting member 150 allows the side spray shower head to be easily and quickly installed onto or removed from the shower rod without requiring it to be fitted onto the shower rod before installation. This greatly facilitates the user's later addition or replacement of the side spray shower head.
