Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] When cleaning items, insufficient lighting often makes it difficult to see them, hindering cleaning. To address this, illuminated shower heads are available on the market that provide illumination during cleaning. However, most illuminated shower heads on the market are relatively simple in function, being single-function LED shower heads that require batteries. Furthermore, most of their LED beads use traditional sealing methods; with prolonged use of alternating hot and cold water, the sealant shrinks, causing it to separate from the water channel walls, leading to failure and leakage.

[0003] In view of this, the applicant hereby submits this application after studying the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a lighting shower head, which aims to improve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

The water generator is placed in the water inlet channel. The outer wall of the water channel assembly is provided with a mounting part. The PCB board is placed in the mounting part and is electrically connected to the water generator and the LED beads. The special-shaped sealing ring is embedded in the water outlet assembly. The LED beads are connected to the side of the special-shaped sealing ring facing the water outlet surface of the water outlet assembly.

[0006] As a further optimization, a switching component is also included, which is disposed on the water inlet channel. The water outlet component includes a water softener and a water outlet panel, with the water softener placed inside the water outlet panel. The switching component enables the water inlet channel to selectively connect to either the water softener or the water outlet panel.

[0007] As a further optimization, the switching component includes a button and a center plug. The center plug is located at the connection between the water inlet channel and the water outlet panel. The button is located on the side wall of the main body and its bottom abuts against the center plug, used to push the center plug to move and switch the water outlet.

[0008] As a further optimization, the irregular sealing ring is fitted inside the water softener, and the LED bead is placed in the middle of the water outlet surface of the water softener.

[0009] As a further optimization, the water outlet end of the water channel assembly is provided with a connecting part, the water outlet panel is threadedly connected to the connecting part, and the water softener and the special-shaped sealing ring are pressed tightly inside the connecting part.

[0010] As a further optimization, the waterway assembly includes a connected front waterway and a rear waterway, with the hydroelectric generator placed inside the inlet waterway of the front waterway and secured by the rear waterway.

[0011] As a further optimization, the mounting portion is formed by the recess of the outer wall of the waterway assembly, the hydroelectric generator has an abutment portion that extends through the side wall of the mounting portion to the mounting portion, and the PCB board is provided with a contact piece that is electrically connected to the abutment portion through the contact piece.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0013] The illuminated shower head of this application incorporates a water-powered generator installed within the water inlet channel. Upon water flow, the generator activates, illuminating the LED beads and providing illumination to the washing area. The LED beads are fitted into the water outlet surface of the water outlet assembly via a specially shaped sealing ring. Compared to traditional sealing methods, this sealing ring offers superior sealing performance and improves lifespan during hot and cold cycles. Furthermore, the PCB board is positioned outside the water channel, preventing contact between the PCB and water and extending the lifespan of the electronic components. Attached Figure Description

The water channel assembly 2 has a water inlet channel 21, which is connected to the water outlet assembly. It also includes a hydroelectric generator 4, a PCB board 5, LED beads 6, and a shaped sealing ring 7. The hydroelectric generator 4 is placed inside the water inlet channel 21, and can generate electricity under the action of water flow after water is supplied. A mounting part 22 is formed by recessing the outer wall of the water channel assembly 2 near the water outlet end. The PCB board 5 is placed inside the mounting part 22 and is electrically connected to the hydroelectric generator 4 and the LED beads 6, so that the hydroelectric generator 4 can provide power to the LED beads. The shaped sealing ring 7 is embedded in the water outlet assembly, and the LED beads 6 are connected to the side of the shaped sealing ring 7 facing the water outlet surface of the water outlet assembly.

[0022] In this embodiment, after water is supplied to the shower head, the water flow drives the hydroelectric generator 4 to start working, thereby illuminating the LED beads and providing illumination to the cleaning area so that the user can observe whether it is clean. Utilizing hydroelectric power generation is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and the structure is simple and compact. The PCB board is placed on the outer wall of the water channel to avoid contact with water, which can improve the lifespan of electronic components. Furthermore, the use of a special-shaped sealing ring to seal the LED beads provides a longer thermal cycling life compared to traditional sealing methods.

In this embodiment, the water outlet panel 32 emits shower water, and the water softener 31 emits a concentrated water jet.

[0024] Furthermore, the shaped sealing ring 7 is fitted into the middle of the water softener 31.

The lamp bead 6 is fitted into the fitting part, thereby sealing the lamp bead 6 through the shaped sealing ring 7. The lamp bead 6 is located in the middle position of the water outlet surface of the water softener 31 to enhance the visual brightness. The water outlet end of the water channel assembly 2 is provided with a connecting part 23. The connecting part 23 has external threads. The water outlet panel 32 is threadedly connected to the connecting part 23, and the water softener 31 and the shaped sealing ring 7 are pressed tightly into the connecting part 23. A gasket 33 is provided between the water softener 31 and the connecting part 23.

[0025] The waterway assembly 2 includes a front waterway 24 and a rear waterway 25 that are connected to each other. The hydroelectric generator 4 is placed in the water inlet of the front waterway 24. The rear waterway 25 is threadedly connected to the front waterway 24 and presses and fixes the hydroelectric generator 4 in the front waterway 24.

[0026] Furthermore, the hydroelectric generator 4 has an abutment portion 41, which extends through the side wall of the mounting portion 22 and into the mounting portion 22. The PCB board 5 is provided with a contact piece 51, and the PCB board 5 achieves electrical connection by abutting and engaging with the abutment portion 41 through the contact piece 51. The PCB board is electrically connected to the LED beads through wires, and the irregular sealing ring 7 is hollow inside, allowing the wires to pass through.
