Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, specifically to a combination shower head. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there is a type of combination shower head that integrates a head shower (also known as a "fixed shower head" or "overhead shower") and a hand shower. This type of combination shower head either has the hand shower's mounting bracket on the head shower or shares a bracket with both. While this setup requires an additional three-way switching valve compared to traditional shower sets, it reduces the need for mounting rods, resulting in a simpler overall appearance and lower cost, leading to its widespread use. However, because combination shower heads integrate two types of shower heads, they correspondingly have more water channels, making control more complex and the structure more intricate, which is detrimental to shower head maintenance. There is also a type of combination filter shower head on the market where both the head shower and hand shower require filter cartridges, resulting in higher costs. Summary of the Invention

[0028] 20 handheld shower heads. Detailed Implementation

[0029] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model discloses a combined shower head, including a main shower head 10. The main shower head 10 is equipped with a filter element 1 for filtering the water flowing through the combined shower head. The main shower head 10 has multiple water outlets, namely a first water outlet 101 located on its side, and a second water outlet 102 and a third water outlet 103 located on its end face. The first water outlet 101 is used to connect to an external water outlet device, and the second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 103 are used for water output from the main shower head 10. The second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 103 cooperate to form different types of water spray from the main shower head 10. More specifically, the water output from the second water outlet 102 forms the outer ring water of the main shower head 10, and the water output from the third water outlet 103 forms the inner ring water of the main shower head 10. In this embodiment, the main shower head 10 is a head shower head, also known as a "top spray" or "fixed shower head," and the external water outlet device is a handheld shower head 20. Hereinafter, "handheld shower head" refers to the external water outlet device. In other embodiments, the main shower head 10 can also be a handheld shower head, and the external water outlet device can also be a head shower head, a spray gun, a faucet, etc. In other embodiments, the multiple water outlets can also consist of only a first water outlet 101 and a second water outlet 102. The first water outlet 101 is used to connect to the external water outlet device, and the second water outlet 102 is used for the main shower head 10 to emit water. In this case, the main shower head 10 emits only one type of water spray.

[0031] The main shower head 10 includes a body assembly 2 and a water distribution assembly 3 disposed on the body assembly 2. The body assembly 2 is provided with a water inlet 104 and multiple water outlets, including the first water outlet 101, the second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 103 mentioned above. The water distribution assembly 3 is used to guide the water flow from the water inlet 104 to any one or more of the first water outlet 101, the second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 103, thereby realizing that the main shower head 10 and the handheld shower head 20 can output water simultaneously or separately. In this embodiment, the water output mode of the first water outlet 101, the second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 103 includes: (1) only the first water outlet 101 outputs water ( Figure 5 (2) Only the second water outlet 102 is producing water. Figure 6 At this time, the main shower head 10 sprays water from the outer ring, while the handheld shower head 20 does not spray water; (3) only the third outlet 103 sprays water. Figure 7 (3) At this time, the head shower 10 sprays water from the inner ring, while the hand shower 20 does not spray water; (4) The first water outlet 101 and the second water outlet 102 spray water simultaneously, at which time the head shower 10 sprays water from the outer ring and the hand shower 20 sprays water; (5) The second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 102 spray water simultaneously, at which time the head shower 10 sprays water from the inner ring and the outer ring, while the hand shower 20 does not spray water. In other embodiments, the water spraying method of this combination shower head can be other types, such as only one water outlet spraying water at a time.

[0032] The main body assembly 2 is cylindrical, formed by axially connecting a large cylinder 201 and a small cylinder 202. The diameter of the large cylinder 201 is larger than the diameter of the small cylinder 202. Thus, the cylindrical main body assembly 2 has two opposing end faces and annular side faces. One end face of the large cylinder 201 and one end face of the small cylinder 202 form the two end faces of the main body assembly 2. The side face of the main body assembly 2 is formed by splicing two annular surfaces of different diameters. A first outlet 101 is located on the side face of the main body assembly 2, more specifically on the side face of the small cylinder 202. A second outlet 102 and a third outlet 103 are located on the end face of the large cylinder 201. An inlet 104 is formed on the other end face, i.e., the end face of the small cylinder 202. The second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 103 are located on the end face of the main body component 2, which is also the end face of the large cylinder 201. This increases the water outlet range of the second water outlet 102 and the third water outlet 103, resulting in a larger water spray range for the main shower head 10 and a wider rinsing area. The first water outlet 101 is located on the side, with the water pipe connecting from the side of the main shower head 10 to the first water outlet 101. This reduces the impact on the water output of the main shower head 10. Furthermore, placing the first water outlet 101 on the side of the small cylinder 202 reduces the length of the connector protruding from the first water outlet 101 to the side of the main body component 2, resulting in a smaller main shower head 10. The water inlet 104 is located on the other end face of the main body component 2, making the water path smoother and the overall layout more reasonable. The smaller diameter of the water inlet 104 also allows for a more rational layout by utilizing the smaller diameter end face.

[0033] The main body assembly 2 is provided with a water outlet panel 4 located on its end face. The water outlet panel 4 is provided with multiple water outlets 41, some of which form second water outlets 102 and others form third water outlets 103. In this embodiment, the multiple water outlets 41 in the inner ring form the second water outlets 102, and the multiple water outlets 41 in the outer ring form the third water outlets 103. The second water outlets 102 and the third water outlets 103 are connected by... Figure 4 The circular dashed line in the middle is used as the boundary.

[0034] See Figures 5 to 9As shown, the water distribution component 3 includes a switching part 301 connected to the inlet 104 and a water distribution part 302 connected to the outlet. The water distribution part 302 is provided with a plurality of water channels 303 corresponding to the outlet. The switching part 301 is movably disposed in the main body component 2, and by means of its movement, the inlet 104 is connected to any one or more water channels 303, thereby connecting the inlet 104 to any one or more outlets. Specifically, the water distribution section 302 includes a first water distribution component 31 and a second water distribution component 32. The first water distribution component 31 and the second water distribution component 32 cooperate to form a water channel 303 between them. The water inlet 3030 of the water channel 303 is provided in the first water distribution component 31. The switching section 301 includes a connector 33 rotatably disposed in the main body assembly 1 and an operating component 34 connected to the connector 33 and protruding outward from the side of the main body assembly 2. The connector 33 is connected to the water inlet 104. The connector 33 is connected to a water blocking component 35. An elastic member 36 is provided between the water blocking component 35 and the connector 33 to press the water blocking component 35 into the first water distribution component 31. The water blocking component 35 is provided with a water passage hole 351. The operating component 34 is used for the user to operate to rotate the switching section 301. As the switching section 301 rotates, the water passage hole 351 is connected to the water inlet 3030 of any one or more water channels 303, thereby connecting the water inlet 104 with any one or more water channels 303. In this embodiment, there are three water channels 303, namely a first water channel 303A connected to the first water outlet 101, a second water channel 303B connected to the second water outlet 102, and a third water channel 303C connected to the third water outlet 103. The inlets 3030 of the three water channels 303 are arranged in an arc shape, and the diameter of the water passage hole 351 is smaller than the inlet 3030 of any water channel. As the switching part 301 rotates, the water passage hole 351 can correspond to one of the water inlets or to two adjacent water inlets. When the water passage 351 corresponds to the inlet of the first water channel 303A, the inlet 104 is connected to the first outlet 101, and only the first outlet 101 can discharge water at this time; when the water passage 351 spans the inlets of the first water channel 303A and the second water channel 303B, the inlet 104 is connected to the first outlet 101 and the second outlet 102, and water discharges from both the first outlet 101 and the second outlet 102 simultaneously; correspondingly, the water passage... 351 can also correspond only to the inlet of the second waterway 303B or the third waterway 303C, so that the inlet 104 is connected to the second outlet 102 or the third outlet 103. The water passage 351 can also span the inlets of the second waterway 303B and the third waterway 303C, so that the inlet 104 is connected to the second outlet 102 and the third outlet 103 at the same time, thereby realizing the above-mentioned five types of water discharge (1) to (5).

[0035] The connector 33 has an arc-shaped guide portion 331, which slides against the inner sidewall of the body assembly 2, thereby forming a motion guide for the connector 33. The operating member 35 is mounted on the guide portion 331. The sidewall of the body assembly 2 has an arc-shaped through hole to form a movement space for the operating member 35.

[0036] In this embodiment, the filter element 1 is disposed in the small cylinder 202, and the water distribution component 3 is disposed in the large cylinder 201. The filter element is located between the water inlet 104 and the water distribution component 3, so that the main shower head 10 and the hand shower head 20 can share the filter element 1 to filter the water flow, reducing the risk of the water outlet being blocked.

[0037] In other embodiments, the body component 2 may also be a cylindrical structure with approximately equal diameter, in which case the diameter of the filter element 1 can be set to be larger.

[0038] It should be noted that the filter element is not necessary. In other embodiments, the filter element may be omitted, and the water flow into the inlet 104 may flow directly out of each outlet without being filtered by the main shower head 10.

[0039] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed parts are prior art, and that all changes in form and detail made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
