[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1, a head cleaning system, referring to Figures 1-3 The system includes a water inlet assembly, which includes a water heater 11. The water heater 11 is connected to a constant temperature device 12 via pipes. The water heater 11 is connected to an external water source, and the water from the water heater 11 enters the constant temperature device 12. The constant temperature device 12 is also connected to an external tap water source. When the water temperature in the water heater 11 is too high, the constant temperature device 12 will automatically add cold water to adjust the outlet water temperature.

[0037] The downstream pipe of the constant temperature device 12 is connected to a water supply valve 2, and the outlet of the water supply valve 2 is connected to a No. 1 tee 3;

[0038] One outlet of the No. 1 tee 3 is connected in sequence to a filter 41 and a booster pump 42 via a pipe;

[0039] The outlet of the booster pump 42 is connected to a No. 2 tee 5, so that the booster pump 42 actually has two outlets.

[0040] One outlet of the No. 2 3-way 5 is connected in sequence to a flow and temperature control integrated valve 61 and a diversion valve 62 via a pipeline.

[0041] The integrated flow and temperature control valve 61 controls the temperature and flow rate of the water outlet. The diversion valve 62 divides the water flow into multiple streams. In this embodiment, the airflow valve divides the water flow into two streams, and the two streams are connected to the shower head 64.

[0042] The water coming out of the water heater 11 is pressurized by the booster pump 42 and then sprayed out by the shower head 64. This is the first flow of water used to rinse the hair.

[0043] The water flow after the first rinse is stored in the water tank 7, and the outlet of the water tank 7 is connected to the return pipe 82;

[0044] The return pipe 82 is connected to another port of the No. 1 tee 3, so the flushed water flows through the return pipe 82 to the filter 41.

[0045] A thermostatic pipe 91 and a reflux valve 92 are sequentially connected to the reflux pipe 82. The thermostatic pipe 91 heats the refluxed water, and the reflux valve 92 controls the opening and closing of the reflux pipe 82.

[0046] When the water supply valve 2 sends water out of the water heater 11, the return valve 92 is in the closed state;

[0047] When the returning water reaches the filter 41 position after passing through the open return valve 92, the water supply valve 2 is in the closed state.

[0048] The return water is filtered by filter 41, and then booster pump 42 delivers the return water to shower head 64 for secondary rinsing. This cycle of rinsing is repeated multiple times without the need for additional water, thus completing multiple rinses of the head.

[0049] During rinsing, users can use shampoo 202 or conditioner to clean their scalp.

[0050] After washing the hair, drain the water. The specific steps are as follows:

[0051] There is a branch pipe 83 connecting the No. 2 tee 5 and the return pipe 82.

[0052] An electrically controlled ball valve 102 and a drain valve 101 are installed on the first branch pipe 83, and the drain outlet 301 is located between the electrically controlled ball valve 102 and the drain valve 101.

[0053] The electrically controlled ball valve 102 is connected to the return pipe 82, and the drain valve 101 is connected to the No. 2 tee 5.

[0054] During the initial water flow cleaning and multiple circulation cleaning processes, the electric ball valve 102 and the drain valve 101 are both closed. After cleaning is completed, the electric ball valve 102 and the drain valve 101 are opened, and the wastewater flows to the drain outlet 301 to discharge the cleaned wastewater.

[0055] When users wash their hair, there are at least three water streams: the first stream wets the hair, the second rinses with shampoo, and the third rinses with clean water. In this solution, the second rinse with shampoo uses a circulating water stream, which reduces the amount of water used when washing hair.

[0056] Furthermore, it employs constant temperature control, making the hair washing experience more comfortable for users.

[0057] The opening and closing of the valve body, pump body, thermostatic tube 91, and thermostatic heater 12 in this system are all controlled by the control system and operated by buttons.

[0058] When you start washing your hair, press the start button to perform the first wash. The reflux valve 92 is closed, the water supply valve 2 is open, and the electric ball valve 102 and the drain valve 101 are closed.

[0059] After the first cleaning is completed, press the circulation wash button to start the circulation wash. At this time, the return valve 92 is in the open state and the water supply valve 2 is in the closed state.

[0060] After the wash is finished, turn on the end button, the return valve 92 opens, the water supply valve 2 closes, the booster pump 42 pumps water, at this time the electric ball valve 102 and the drain valve 101 open, and the water flows out from the drain valve 101.

[0061] In other embodiments, the entire cleaning process can also be operated by the control system. After the first cleaning is completed, the return valve 92 opens and the water supply valve 2 closes to perform circulating water rinsing. The completion of the first cleaning can be controlled by the water flow rate of the first rinse. When the water volume of the first cleaning reaches the set value, it indicates that the first cleaning is completed. The flow and temperature control valve 61 monitors the flow rate.

[0062] The number of cleaning cycles is controlled by the flow rate of the circulating water, and the water is drained after cleaning is completed.

[0063] Example 2, a head washing system, differs from Example 1 in that, referring to... Figure 4 ,

[0064] The return pipe 82 is equipped with a four-way connector 81, and the lower end of the four-way connector 81 is connected to a thermostatic pipe 91. The return valve 92 is located downstream of the thermostatic pipe 91. The first branch pipe 83 is connected to the four-way connector 81, and the first branch pipe 83 is equipped with an electric ball valve 102. The electric ball valve 102 is located between the four-way connector 81 and the drain valve 101.

[0065] The four-way connector 81 is connected to the second branch pipe 84, which is equipped with a peristaltic pump 201 and shampoo 202.

[0066] The peristaltic pump 201 delivers shampoo 202 to the return pipe 82, and as it circulates back to the head for washing, the filter 41 does not filter the shampoo 202. The shampoo 202 is mixed in the water and can pass through the filter 41. The main function of the filter 41 is to filter impurities in the circulating water, because foreign objects inevitably mix into the circulating water when it passes through the water tank 7.

[0067] To further enhance the comfort of shampooing, the shower head 64 features a shampoo cover with multiple spray nozzles. The shampoo cover has a hollow center, which serves two purposes: First, a completely sealed water reservoir in the center of the shampoo cover can easily cause water to accumulate. The hollow design prevents this, and water accumulation in the center would reduce water pressure and affect the spraying effect. Second, the hollow center also allows the shampoo attendant to easily reach in and massage the scalp.

[0068] Example 3, a head washing system, differs from Example 1 or Example 2 in that, referring to... Figure 5 The peristaltic pump 201 is connected to multiple shampoos 202 or conditioners. In this embodiment, it is connected to three bottles for hair cleaning and care.

[0069] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
