Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to a foam shower head and foam shower device. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, consumers' demands for showerheads are constantly increasing. Showerheads have been developed with various functions to meet these needs. For example, foam showerheads provide users with foamy water containing shower gel or shampoo during showering. This eliminates the need for users to manually squeeze and generate foam, and the same amount of shower gel or shampoo produces more foam with a foam showerhead. However, foam showerheads are relatively new, and some problems have emerged during use. Common issues include weakened water flow and a poor user experience. Therefore, this invention provides a new foam showerhead structure that solves these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a foam shower head structure that does not weaken the water force when spraying foamy water.

[0004] In one aspect, a foam shower head is provided, comprising a shower head body and a pneumatic sealing structure.

[0005] The shower head body is provided with a water inlet channel, an installation cavity and a water outlet channel connected in sequence. There are at least two water outlet channels, including a foam water channel and a non-foam water channel, which are respectively connected to the installation cavity through a first water outlet hole and a second water outlet hole.

[0006] The pneumatic sealing structure includes a pneumatic sealing element and an air supply channel. The pneumatic sealing element is disposed within the mounting cavity, near or facing the second water outlet. The air supply end of the air supply channel connects to and drives the pneumatic sealing element, while the air inlet end extends into the water inlet channel of the shower head body. When foam water is being dispensed, the air supply channel drives the pneumatic sealing element to block the second water outlet. When normal shower water is being dispensed, the pneumatic sealing element opens the second water outlet. This ensures that when foam water is being dispensed, only a portion of the nozzles are sprayed, preventing water dispersion or concentrating the water pressure on a portion of the nozzles. Consequently, when foam water is being dispensed, the shower head delivers a stronger water flow, providing a better showering experience for the user.

[0007] Preferably, to simplify the structure, the pneumatic sealing element is a sealing cavity, and the sealing cavity has a movable part facing the second water outlet. The air supply channel communicates with the sealing cavity, and the sealing cavity bulges up when the air supply channel supplies air, and the movable part is pushed out and blocks the second water outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting cavity is provided with a water inlet groove surrounding the first and second water outlets. The water inlet groove is connected to the water inlet channel. The sealing cavity seals the water inlet groove, and the movable part moves within the water inlet groove.

[0009] Preferably, in order to achieve a better sealing effect, the water inlet tank is also equipped with a barrier, and the second water outlet is located inside the barrier. The movable part seals the barrier when the air supply channel is in the air supply state, resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing cavity includes an end cap. The end cap seals the opening of the water inlet tank and presses the movable part into the opening of the water inlet tank.

[0011] Preferably, the movable part is an elastic sealing sheet, which not only has good elasticity but also good sealing performance.

[0012] Preferably, the foam water channel and the non-foam water channel form foam water nozzles and non-foam water nozzles respectively on the water outlet panel of the shower head body. The foam water nozzles and non-foam water nozzles are located in different areas of the water outlet panel.

[0013] Preferably, the foam nozzle is located in the central area of ​​the water outlet panel. The non-foam nozzle surrounds the foam nozzle, thus concentrating the foam water flow and preventing waste.

[0014] Preferably, the foam shower head further includes a dual-channel hose, which includes a water inlet pipe and an air inlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet channel, and the air inlet pipe is disposed inside the water inlet pipe and connected to the air delivery channel.

[0015] Secondly, a foam shower device is provided, including a foam shower head and the foam shower unit.

[0016] The foam shower includes an electrically controlled aerator and an air pump. The foam shower has a foam delivery channel, an air supply channel, and a water supply channel. One end of the foam delivery channel is connected to the foam outlet of the electrically controlled aerator, and the other end is connected to the water supply channel. One end of the air supply channel is connected to the air pump, and the other end extends into the water supply channel. The foam shower head is connected to the foam shower via a dual-channel hose. The dual-channel hose includes a water inlet pipe and an air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is located inside the water inlet pipe. One end of the water inlet pipe connects to the water inlet channel of the foam shower head, and the other end connects to the water supply channel of the foam shower. One end of the air inlet pipe connects to the air delivery channel of the foam shower head, and the other end connects to the air supply channel of the foam shower.

[0017] When in use, the electronically controlled aerator and the air pump start and stop simultaneously. When starting, the electronically controlled aerator provides foam water to the foam shower head, and the air pump supplies air to the pneumatic sealing structure. At this time, foam water comes out of the foam outlet of the foam shower head. When stopping, water comes out from both the foam outlet and the non-foam outlet of the foam shower head.

[0018] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The foam shower head provided by this utility model dispenses water from only a portion of the nozzles when producing foamy water, which avoids the dispersion of water force or concentrates the water force on a portion of the nozzles. As a result, the shower head dispenses more water force when producing foamy water, providing users with a better showering experience.

[0020] The sealing structure is pneumatic. On the one hand, when combined with a shower with an air pump, it can automatically switch to foam water mode. On the other hand, it can also control the water outlet with the shower and has a fast response speed.

[0021] The pneumatic sealing structure provided by this utility model has the advantages of simple structure and easy implementation;

[0022] Concentrating the foam nozzle in the center of the water outlet panel has the effect of focusing the foam water output and avoiding waste of foam water;

[0023] The foam shower device provided by this utility model, by setting up a foam shower with an electronically controlled aerator and an air pump, can block part of the showerhead's water outlets when switching to foam water output, thus preventing a decrease in water pressure when foam water is output.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A foam shower head includes a shower head body 1 and a pneumatic sealing structure 2.

[0035] The shower head body 1 is provided with a water inlet channel 11, an installation cavity 12 and a water outlet channel connected in sequence. In this embodiment, there are two water outlet channels, including a foam water channel 13 and a non-foam water channel 14, which are respectively connected to the installation cavity 12 through a first water outlet hole and a second water outlet hole 14. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be other water outlet channels, not limited to two, or in other words, there may be multiple water outlet channels, but they are divided into two types, including a foam water channel 13 and a non-foam water channel 14.

[0036] Preferably, the foam water channel 13 and the non-foam water channel 14 respectively form foam water nozzles 132 and non-foam water nozzles 142 on the water outlet panel of the shower head body 1. The foam water nozzles 132 and non-foam water nozzles 142 are located in different areas of the water outlet panel. In this embodiment, the foam water nozzle 132 is located in the middle area of ​​the water outlet panel. The non-foam water nozzles 142 surround the foam water nozzles 132, so that when foam water is dispensed, it has a concentrated water output effect and avoids waste of foam water.

[0037] The pneumatic sealing structure 2 includes a pneumatic sealing element 21 and an air supply channel 22. The pneumatic sealing element 21 is disposed in the mounting cavity 12 and is close to or toward the second water outlet 141. The air supply end of the air supply channel 22 is connected to and drives the pneumatic sealing element 21, and the air inlet end extends into the water inlet channel 11 of the shower body 1.

[0038] In one embodiment, to simplify the structure, the pneumatic sealing member 21 is a sealing cavity 211, and the sealing cavity 211 is provided with a movable part 212 facing the second water outlet 141. The air supply channel 22 communicates with the sealing cavity 211. When the air supply channel 22 supplies air, the sealing cavity 211 bulges up, and the movable part 212 is pushed out and blocks the second water outlet 141.

[0039] Based on the above embodiment, the mounting cavity 12 is provided with a water inlet groove 121 surrounding the first water outlet hole and the second water outlet hole 141. The water inlet groove 121 is connected to the water inlet channel 11. The sealing cavity 211 is sealed on the water inlet groove 121, and the movable part 212 moves within the water inlet groove 121.

[0040] In addition, to achieve a better sealing effect, the water inlet trough 121 is also provided with a barrier 122, and the second water outlet 141 is located inside the barrier 122. The movable part 212 seals the barrier 122 when the air supply channel 22 is supplying air, resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0041] In one embodiment, the sealing cavity 211 includes an end cap 213. The end cap 213 blocks the opening of the water inlet trough 121 and presses the movable part 212 into the opening of the water inlet trough 121. Preferably, the movable part 212 is an elastic sealing sheet, which is not only elastic but also has good sealing performance.

[0042] Based on the above embodiments, the foam shower head also includes a dual-channel hose, which includes a water inlet pipe and an air inlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet channel 11, and the air inlet pipe is disposed inside the water inlet pipe and connected to the air delivery channel 22.

[0043] When using the shower head provided by this utility model, the air supply channel 22 drives the pneumatic sealing member 21 to block the second water outlet 141 when foam water is being dispensed, while the pneumatic sealing member 21 opens the second water outlet 141 when ordinary shower water is being dispensed. This allows water to be dispensed from only a portion of the water outlets when foam water is being dispensed, thus avoiding the dispersion of water force or concentrating the water force on a portion of the water outlets. As a result, the shower head has a stronger water flow when dispensing foam water, providing the user with a better showering experience.

[0044] When the foam water state is exited, the air supply channel 22 stops supplying air to the pneumatic sealing component 21, and the movable component resets under its own elasticity and / or the hydraulic action in the water inlet trough 121. The second water outlet 141 opens again, and at this time, all the water outlets start to flow water simultaneously again.

[0045] In another embodiment, a foam shower device is also provided, including a foam shower head and the foam shower nozzle.

[0046] The foam shower includes an electrically controlled aerator and an air pump. The foam shower has a foam delivery channel, an air supply channel, and a water supply channel. One end of the foam delivery channel is connected to the foam outlet of the electrically controlled aerator, and the other end is connected to the water supply channel. One end of the air supply channel is connected to the air pump, and the other end extends into the water supply channel. The foam shower head is connected to the foam shower via a dual-channel hose. The dual-channel hose includes a water inlet pipe and an air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is located inside the water inlet pipe. One end of the water inlet pipe connects to the water inlet channel 11 of the foam shower head, and the other end connects to the water supply channel of the foam shower. One end of the air inlet pipe connects to the air delivery channel 22 of the foam shower head, and the other end connects to the air supply channel of the foam shower.

[0047] When in use, the electronically controlled aerator and the air pump start and stop simultaneously. When starting, the electronically controlled aerator provides foam water to the foam shower head, and the air pump supplies air to the pneumatic sealing structure 2. At this time, the foam water outlet 132 of the foam shower head dispenses foam water. When stopping, the foam water outlet 132 and the non-foam water outlet 142 of the foam shower head dispense water simultaneously.
