[0026] 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. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art 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. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Depend on Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a multi-functional shower, including a shower body 1, which consists of a water inlet module 2, a temperature control module 3, and a multi-functional module 4. The water inlet module 2 connects to a hot water port and a cold water port, introducing hot and cold water into the temperature control module 3 for mixing and adjustment. The temperature control module 3 is located between the water inlet module 2 and the multi-functional module 4, and contains a mixing chamber and a temperature regulating component to adjust the water temperature within the mixing chamber, thereby outputting a constant temperature water source that meets the user's needs to the multi-functional module 4. This is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here. The core structure of the multi-functional module 4 includes a housing 5 and multiple button valve cores mounted on the housing 5, as well as a connecting cavity 7 and multiple water outlet chambers located inside the housing 5. Each water outlet chamber has a water outlet for different functions. The specific embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Preferably, the housing 5 is provided with a connecting cavity 7 and four water outlet cavities, from right to left: a first water outlet cavity 8, a second water outlet cavity 9, a third water outlet cavity 10, and a fourth water outlet cavity 11. The water inlet of the connecting cavity 7 is connected to the water outlet of the temperature control module 3, forming the main water channel 6. Each water outlet cavity is connected to the connecting cavity 7 through a corresponding button valve core, which includes a first button valve core 12, a second button valve core 13, a third button valve core 14, and a fourth button valve core 15. Each button valve core adopts a push-button design, allowing the user to manually operate the button valve core to open or close the water passage between the corresponding water outlet cavity and the connecting cavity 7. For example, when the user presses the first button valve core 12, the water passage between the first water outlet cavity 8 and the connecting cavity 7 is opened, and water flows from the connecting cavity 7 into the first water outlet cavity 8 and through the first bottom water outlet 16 to the first lower water outlet pipe 17. Similarly, the operation of other button valve cores is similar. Users can selectively open different water outlet chambers according to actual needs to achieve diversified water circuit distribution. The button valve core can also switch the water circuit by rotating to adjust the flow rate. The specific structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Preferably, the first water outlet chamber 8 is provided with a first bottom water outlet 16, which can be used to connect to a lower water outlet pipe for floor washing or foot washing, or it can be fitted with a water outlet connector to connect a hose, the end of which can be connected to a handheld shower head. There are various options, which will not be elaborated here. The second water outlet chamber 9 is provided with a second bottom water outlet 18. In this embodiment, the second bottom water outlet 18 is used directly as a lower water outlet, or it can be connected to a lower water outlet pipe, or it can be used with a hose or other low-level water outlet devices. The third water outlet chamber 10 is provided with a third bottom water outlet 19, a first top water outlet 20, and a first concealed water outlet 21. The first top water outlet 20 is used to connect to the first top water outlet pipe 22, which is suitable for high-level water outlet devices such as overhead shower heads, while the first concealed water outlet 21 provides users with the option to connect a concealed water pipe (not shown in the figure). Only one of the third bottom water outlet 19 and the second bottom water outlet 18 can be selected as the water outlet for the lower water outlet function. The fourth water outlet chamber 11 is equipped with a second top water outlet 23 and a second concealed water outlet 24, which are used to connect the second top water outlet pipe 25 and another concealed water pipe, respectively. The desired water outlet route can be controlled by closing the outlet end. Through the above design, users can flexibly select different outlets according to actual scenarios to meet personalized needs.

[0030] Furthermore, a connecting hole 26 is provided between the third water outlet chamber 10 and the fourth water outlet chamber 11. A third top water outlet 32, connecting to the outside, is provided within the connecting hole for installing the third top water outlet pipe 33. A removable sealing element 27 is also provided within the connecting hole 26. In this embodiment, the sealing element 27 has three sealing ends: the left sealing end separates the connecting hole 26 from the fourth water outlet chamber 11, the middle sealing end separates the connecting hole 26 from the third water outlet chamber 10, and the right sealing end seals the installation opening between the sealing element 27 and the housing 5. Users can disassemble it using tools such as an Allen wrench to replace the sealing element 27 with different specifications, thereby changing the communication state between the third top water outlet 32 ​​and the connecting hole 26. For example, when the leftmost position of the replaced seal 27 does not have a sealing end, the third top outlet 32 ​​connects to the left end of the connecting hole 26. In this case, the user can close the first top outlet 20 and connect the third top outlet 32 ​​to the third outlet chamber 10. When the middle position of the seal 27 does not have a sealing end, the third top outlet 32 ​​connects to the right end of the connecting hole 26. The user can close the second top outlet 23 and connect the third top outlet 32 ​​to the fourth outlet chamber 11. This design allows users to flexibly adjust the top outlet position in different scenarios, increasing the diversity of outlet combinations. As another implementation method, the seal 27 can be multi-specification integrated, or it can be adjusted by setting a detachable sealing end to achieve the desired seal; details will not be elaborated here.

[0031] In addition, as one implementation method, a connecting hole can also be provided between the first water outlet chamber 8 and the second water outlet chamber 9 to cooperate with the sealing element to increase the diversity of combinations, which will not be elaborated here.

[0032] Preferably, as one embodiment, an adapter 28 can be configured to connect the third top water outlet 32 ​​and the third top water outlet pipe 33. The adapter 28 has a Z-shaped design. Through the design of the adapter 28, the third top water outlet pipe 33 can be moved away from the wall, facilitating its use with the shower riser and improving installation flexibility. The adapter 28 is made of corrosion-resistant metal or high-strength plastic to ensure stability and reliability during long-term use.

[0033] Meanwhile, the housing 5 is also provided with a cooling vent chamber 29, which is connected to the connecting chamber 7, and a cooling vent solenoid valve 30 is provided between the two. The cooling vent solenoid valve 30 is controlled to open or close via a remote control device. When the user activates the cooling vent function, the cooling vent solenoid valve 30 opens, and the remaining cold water in the connecting chamber 7 and at the front end is discharged through the cooling vent port connected to the cooling vent chamber 29. As one implementation method, the cooling vent chamber 29 can be connected to the second bottom water outlet 18 as a cooling vent to prevent the user from coming into contact with cold water during use and improve user comfort.

[0034] To further enhance energy-saving and environmentally friendly performance, a hydroelectric generator 31 is installed on the shower body 1, and the hydroelectric generator 31 is installed on the output water line of the temperature control module 3. When water flows from the temperature control module 3 to the multi-functional module 4, the hydroelectric generator 31 generates electricity using the water flow and transmits the electrical energy to the battery (not shown in the figure) inside the shower body 1. The battery can be used for the cooling solenoid valve 30. In other embodiments, the battery can also be used to power the temperature display module for displaying the water temperature. This design not only reduces dependence on external power sources but also improves the overall energy-saving effect of the system.

[0035] In practical applications, the operating principle of this multi-functional shower is as follows: The user first connects the hot water port and cold water port through the water inlet module 2. The hot and cold water flow into the temperature control module 3, and after being regulated by the mixing chamber and temperature adjustment component, a constant-temperature water source is output to the multi-functional module 4. After the constant-temperature water source enters the connection chamber 7 of the multi-functional module 4, the user selectively opens the water path of the corresponding outlet chamber according to their needs by operating the button valve core. For example, if the user needs a low-level water outlet function, they press the first button valve core 12 or the second button valve core 13, and the water flows through the first bottom outlet 16 or the second bottom outlet 18 to the corresponding outlet pipe; if the user needs a high-level water outlet function, they press the third button valve core 14 or the fourth button valve core 15, and the water flows through the first top outlet 20 or the second top outlet 23 to the top spray head or hand shower head. Multiple outlet chambers can also be used simultaneously. For specific scenario requirements, users can adjust and replace the seal 27 to change the connection status of the third top outlet 32 ​​to adapt to different top water outlet needs. Before use, users can activate the cold water discharge solenoid valve 30 via remote control to drain the remaining cold water in the connection chamber 7, ensuring a constant outlet water temperature. Throughout the process, the hydroelectric generator 31 continuously supplies power to the battery, ensuring the stability of the system operation.

[0036] In summary, this utility model's multi-functional shower, through its modular design and flexible water circuit control, allows users to freely choose and combine water circuit combinations according to their own needs. The design of multiple water outlet chambers and a button valve core enables users to flexibly allocate water outlets to meet personalized needs; it eliminates the need to develop new models for different functions, significantly reducing additional mold opening and production costs; the concealed water outlet and Z-type adapter 28 design provide more installation options to adapt to different scenarios; the introduction of the cooling solenoid valve 30 and remote-controlled cooling water drainage function enhances ease of use; and the hydroelectric generator 31 uses water flow to generate electricity to power the battery of the cooling solenoid valve 30, further reducing energy consumption. The technical solution of this utility model has broad application prospects and can meet the diverse needs of different users.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
