[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 The rotating self-cleaning shower head shown includes a handle 1 and a shower head 2 connected to one end of the handle 1. One end of the shower head 2 is connected to a shower cover 3, and the shower cover 3 has a plurality of water outlets 4. A circumferentially rotatable cleaning component 5 is provided inside the shower head 2. The working surface of the cleaning component 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the shower cover 3. The cleaning component 5 has an operating part 6 extending to the outer end of the shower cover 3. The cleaning component 5 is driven to rotate by external force. The preferred method in this application is manual drive. The specific structure is described below. In this embodiment, the shower cover 3 and the shower head 2 are preferably detachably connected, including threaded connection, snap-fit or fastener connection, etc. Alternatively, the shower cover 3 and the shower head 2 are integrally formed, and a detachable cover plate is provided at one end of the shower head 2 opposite to the shower cover 3.
[0023] The shower head directly controls the cleaning component 5 via an external operating component 6, and is equipped with an elastic clamping structure to ensure that the cleaning bristles 8 of the brush plate 7 always adhere to the inner wall of the shower head cover 3; effectively solving the problems of easy clogging and inconvenient cleaning of traditional shower head outlets 4, and also having the advantages of high self-cleaning efficiency, reliable sealing and compact structure.
[0024] The cleaning component 5 includes a brush plate 7, the working surface of which is provided with cleaning bristles 8, and an operating component 6 is fixed or integrally formed in the central area of the brush plate 7. The rotation axis of the operating component 6 coincides with the circumferential rotation axis of the brush plate 7, and the cleaning bristles 8 of the brush plate 7 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating component 6.
[0025] The shower head cover 3 has a through hole 9 that mates with the operating component 6. The operating component 6 extends through the through hole 9 to the outside of the shower head cover 3, and a rotating pair is formed between the inner wall of the through hole 9 and the operating component 6. In this embodiment, the operating component 6 is preferably a knob. The rotation center axis of the knob coincides with the center axis of the through hole 9. The shape of the rotation is not specifically limited, and irregular shapes are also acceptable. Any structure that can rotate relative to the shower head cover 3 is acceptable.
[0026] The water outlets 4 are radially distributed around the through hole 9, and the projection area of all water outlets 4 falls within the cleaning trajectory coverage of the cleaning bristles 8 when the brush plate 7 rotates. In this embodiment, the radially distributed (configured as a ring distribution) water outlets 4 completely fall within the range of the brush bristle rotation trajectory, ensuring that each water outlet can be periodically cleaned by the brush bristles.
[0027] A sealing ring 10 (ring) is embedded at the interface between the operating component 6 and the through hole 9. The outer edge of the sealing ring 10 forms an axial contact seal with the inner end face of the shower head cover 3. An axial contact sealing ring 10 is used between the operating component 6 and the through hole 9 to prevent water leakage during rotation.
[0028] The shower head 2 has a protruding mounting part 11 on its inner bottom wall. The mounting part 11 has at least one mounting hole 12. The brush plate 7 has a positioning hole 13 corresponding to the mounting hole 12. An elastic element 14 is provided between the positioning hole 13 and the mounting hole 12. The elastic element 14 (compression spring) continuously provides a clamping force so that the brush bristles always fit against the inner wall of the shower head cover 3, avoiding cleaning failure due to wear.
[0029] The elastic element 14 is a compression spring, with its two ends abutting against the bottom of the mounting hole 12 and the end face of the positioning hole 13, respectively, so that the brush plate 7 always has an elastic pressing force toward the inner wall of the shower head cover 3. The symmetrically distributed bristle group can clean in both directions, improving the efficiency of impurity removal.
[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
