Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom shower head technology, and in particular to a shower head with dual-sided water output switching. Background Technology

[0002] Most current showerheads use multiple water outlet groups on the same side of the showerhead panel, and a switching element on the showerhead handle or panel. They also have a relatively complex water path switching mechanism inside the showerhead. A switching button activates the water path switching mechanism to switch the water flow through different water outlet groups. The structure is relatively complex, and because each water outlet group is located on one side of the showerhead surface, the design of the water outlet groups is very limited. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shower head with dual-sided water output switching. The technical problem to be solved is to provide a shower head with a simple structure that can switch water output.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: a shower head with dual-sided water switching, including a handle, a shower head, and a switching component;

[0005] The handle has a handle inlet and a handle outlet. The handle inlet is used to connect to a water source, and a handle water channel is formed inside the handle, which connects the handle inlet to the handle outlet.

[0006] The shower head has a water inlet end, on which a first water inlet and a second water inlet are provided. The outer surface of the shower head forms a first water outlet surface and a second water outlet surface. A first water outlet hole group is provided on the first water outlet surface, and a second water outlet hole group is provided on the second water outlet surface. The first water inlet of the shower head is connected only to the first water outlet hole group, and the second water inlet of the shower head is connected only to the second water outlet hole group.

[0007] The switching element has a switching element inlet end and a switching element outlet end. The switching element inlet end is fixed and connected to the handle outlet end. The shower head inlet end is rotatably connected to the switching element outlet end so that the shower head can rotate around the handle axis. The switching element inlet end and the switching element outlet end are connected by a water passage hole. The water passage hole is eccentric to the rotation axis of the shower head so that after the shower head rotates on the switching element outlet end, the water passage hole can switch to connect to one of the first water inlet and the second water inlet of the shower head, thereby switching the water supply from the water source to spray out from the first water outlet group or the second water outlet group.

[0008] Furthermore, the water outlet end of the switching component also forms a water-blocking part, which is circumferentially spaced from the water passage hole along the axis of rotation of the shower head. When the first water inlet and the second water inlet of the shower head are not connected to the water passage hole, the water-blocking part blocks the first water inlet and the second water inlet of the shower head.

[0009] Furthermore, the first and second water outlets are located on two opposing surfaces of the shower head.

[0010] Furthermore, the first and second water outlet surfaces are parallel to the axis of rotation of the shower head.

[0011] Furthermore, the first water outlet group and the second water outlet group each include multiple water outlets, and the size and / or number and / or arrangement of the water outlets in the first water outlet group and the second water outlet group are different.

[0012] Furthermore, the switching element is exposed between the grip and the shower head.

[0013] Furthermore, a positioning part is formed on the outer wall of the switching component. When the shower head rotates and the first water outlet surface is on the same side as the positioning part, the water supply from the water source sprays out from the first water outlet group. When the second water outlet surface is on the same side as the positioning part, the water supply from the water source sprays out from the second water outlet group.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the handle's water outlet end has an external thread, and the inner wall of the switching component's water inlet end has an internal thread. The water inlet end of the switching component and the handle's water outlet end are installed and fixed through the screw connection of the internal and external threads.

[0015] Furthermore, the shower head inlet end is provided with multiple recesses, and the switching component outlet end is provided with an elastic protrusion. Each recess is circumferentially spaced along the shower head rotation axis. After the shower head rotates relative to the recess, the elastic protrusion springs into the recess, providing resistance for further rotation of the shower head, so that the shower head can be accurately positioned at multiple rotation angles.

[0016] Furthermore, the recessed portion is provided in four positions to respectively position the shower head at a position where the water passage hole is connected to the first water inlet of the shower head, a position where the water passage hole is connected to the second water inlet of the shower head, a position where the water passage hole is not connected to either of them during the process of rotating from the first water inlet of the shower head to the second water inlet of the shower head, and a position where the water passage hole is not connected to either of them during the process of rotating from the second water inlet of the shower head to the first water inlet of the shower head.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above solution are as follows: the handle water passage connects the handle inlet end to the handle outlet end; the shower head inlet end is provided with a first shower head inlet and a second shower head inlet; the shower head outer surface forms a first outlet surface and a second outlet surface; a first outlet hole group is provided on the first outlet surface; a second outlet hole group is provided on the second outlet surface; the first shower head inlet is only connected to the first outlet hole group; the second shower head inlet is only connected to the second outlet hole group; the inlet end of the switching component is fixed and connected to the handle outlet end. The shower head's inlet end is rotatably connected to the outlet end of the switching element, allowing the shower head to rotate around the handle axis. The inlet and outlet ends of the switching element are connected by a water passage hole, which is eccentric to the shower head's rotation axis. This allows the water passage hole to switch between the first and second inlets of the shower head after the shower head rotates on the outlet end of the switching element. This enables the water supply to be switched from either the first or second outlet group, providing a simple shower head with a switchable water flow. Attached Figure Description
