Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom products technology, and particularly to the field of shower heads. Background Technology
[0002] Showerheads are commonly used bathroom products. To meet diverse user needs and improve user experience, many existing showerheads adopt a variable spray design, allowing them to switch between shower water and granular water. Shower water is the conventional spray method, where water flows through the internal channels of the showerhead and is discharged directly from the outlet, presenting a continuous water flow with a large flow rate. Granular water, also known as spray water, is created by setting water streams at different angles within the showerhead, using the impact of the two streams to disperse the water and form granular water droplets.
[0003] Existing showerheads typically have two water paths for each outlet. When shower water is needed, only one path is kept open while the other is closed, preventing the two water streams from colliding and creating a shower water mode. When a fine water flow is needed, both paths are opened, and the water is dispersed by the collision of the two streams, creating a fine water flow mode. The degree of dispersion can be adjusted by regulating the flow rate of each path. However, this disturbance of the water flow affects both the inlet and outlet flow rates of the showerhead. Furthermore, due to limitations in household water pressure and flow rates, the number of outlets cannot be too large; otherwise, the inlet water pressure and flow rate would be insufficient to break the water into particles at each outlet. Therefore, the flow rate in fine water mode is often less than in shower water mode. In actual use, switching to fine water mode often results in a significant reduction in the actual water output of these showerheads, making the water flow appear sparse and failing to meet the user's needs, thus negatively impacting the user experience. Consequently, fine water mode is used less frequently. Utility Model Content

[0037] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0040] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 11 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a shower head includes: a shower head body 10, the bottom of which is provided with a first water outlet 21 and a second water outlet 22. The water outlet mode of the first water outlet 21 can be switched between shower water and granular water, and the water outlet mode of the second water outlet 22 is shower water. This showerhead features a first water outlet 21 and a second water outlet 22 simultaneously located at the bottom of the showerhead body 10. The second water outlet 22 maintains the shower water flow mode, while the first water outlet 21 switches between shower water and granular water modes. Since the shower water mode has a larger water volume, the impact on the inlet and outlet water is smaller. Compared to existing showerheads, this design allows for a greater total number of water outlets, effectively increasing the water volume. Furthermore, even when the first water outlet 21 is switched to granular water mode, the second water outlet 22 still provides shower water, maintaining a sufficient shower water volume to meet user needs. Combined with the dispersion effect of the granular water, the water flow appears more powerful, effectively enhancing the user experience.
[0042] The principles behind the generation of granular water and shower water are well known to those skilled in the art, and there are various mature water spray generation structures available in the industry. Those skilled in the art can choose flexibly according to their needs.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:
[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, a first water outlet 21 is provided in both the outer edge and central areas of the shower head body 10, and a second water outlet 22 is provided between the outer edge and central areas of the shower head body 10. Thus, when the first water outlet 21 switches to the particle water mode, particle water can be generated simultaneously in the outer ring and center of the shower head, while the second water outlet 22 sprays shower water between the two layers of particle water, ensuring sufficient shower water volume and visually presenting a more powerful water flow effect. Furthermore, the outer edge and central areas of the shower head body 10 are generally locations with greater water flow disturbance and stronger water pressure; placing the second water outlet 22 in these locations helps to improve the water breaking effect. In other embodiments, the location and distribution of the first water outlet 21 and the second water outlet 22 can be flexibly adjusted as needed, for example, by using an alternating arrangement, and are not limited to this.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 8 to 11In this embodiment, the shower head body 10 is provided with a first water distribution chamber 311 and a second water distribution chamber 321. The shower head body 10 is provided with an inlet 33 for connecting to an external water source. The first water distribution chamber 311 is connected to the inlet 33 through a first water distribution channel 312, and the second water distribution chamber 321 is connected to the inlet 33 through a second water distribution channel 322. The shower head body 10 is provided with a regulating valve 34 for adjusting the flow rate of the first water distribution channel 312 and the second water distribution channel 322. The second water outlet 22 is connected to the first water distribution chamber 311. The shower head body 10 is provided with a horizontal first water passage 41 and a vertical second water passage 42. The first water passage 41 connects the first water outlet 21 to the first water distribution chamber 311, and the second water passage 42 is aligned with the first water passage 41 and connects the second water distribution chamber 321 to the first water passage 41. Thus, by simply closing the second water channel 322 through the regulating valve 34, the water flow enters the first water chamber 311 only through the first water channel 312, and then exits from the first water outlet 21 and the second water outlet 22. The water flow forms shower water through the second water outlet 22 and rotates and oscillates in the first water outlet 21 to form particulate water. After opening the second water channel 322 through the regulating valve 34, some water flow can enter the second water chamber 321, and then enter the first water passage 41 vertically through the second water passage 42, colliding with the horizontal water flow in the first water passage 41. This can slow down the horizontal water flow in the first water passage 41, thereby suppressing the rotation and oscillation of the horizontal water flow after entering the first water outlet 21, thereby reducing the degree of water breakage into droplets. Furthermore, by gradually increasing the vertical water flow input of the second water chamber 321 while gradually decreasing the horizontal water flow input of the first water chamber 311, the first water outlet 21 can be switched from particulate water mode to direct shower water mode.
[0046] In some embodiments, the second water passage 42 is aligned with the first water outlet 21 and the second water distribution chamber 321 is connected to the first water outlet 21. Thus, the vertical water flow provided by the second water passage 42 can also decelerate the horizontal water flow entering the first water outlet 21 and suppress the formation of particulate water.
[0047] To form particulate water in the first outlet hole 21, in this embodiment, at least a portion of the water flow from the first water passage 41 is offset from the vertical central axis of the first outlet hole 21, allowing this portion of the lateral water flow to rotate and oscillate along the inner wall of the first outlet hole 21. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first outlet hole 21 includes an upper water splash forming hole 211 and a lower jet hole 212. The water splash forming hole 211 has a larger lateral dimension to provide space for the rotation and oscillation of the water flow, while the jet hole 212 has a smaller lateral dimension. This design can achieve a pressurization effect. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper part of the water splash forming hole 211 is cylindrical, while the lower part is spherical and smoothly connected to the upper part. This ensures that all inner walls within the water splash forming hole 211 are smooth surfaces, preventing planes and corners from obstructing the water flow and altering its direction or causing disturbance. This allows a stable water vortex to form within the water splash forming hole 211, effectively preventing the water from re-aggregating after vibration and breaking, and effectively maintaining the water flow velocity, thus significantly improving the vibration and breaking effect of the water. In other embodiments, the first water outlet 21 can also adopt other suitable shapes such as a conical hole or an elliptical hole. In this embodiment, the shower head body 10 is provided with a third water passage 43 that connects the first water distribution chamber 311 and the second water distribution chamber 321. The third water passage 43 is laterally offset from the first water outlet 21. Thus, when the flow rate of the second water passage 42 reaches its maximum value, the excess water in the second water distribution chamber 321 can also be diverted into the first water distribution chamber 311 through the third water passage 43, and then discharged from the first water outlet 21 and the second water outlet 22. This can make full use of the inlet water pressure and flow rate, reduce waste, and adapt to different inlet water pressure and flow rate to ensure the stability of the water outlet pattern of the first water outlet 21. Furthermore, when the first water distribution chamber 312 is closed, the water entering the second water distribution chamber 321 from the second water distribution chamber 322 can still enter the first water distribution chamber 311 through the third water passage 43 and then be discharged through the first water outlet 21 and the second water outlet 22, thus maintaining the continuous water flow of the second water outlet 22 for convenient use.
[0048] In some embodiments, the third water passage 43 is aligned with the second water outlet 22. This allows excess water after the water volume in the second water passage 42 reaches its maximum capacity to be directly discharged from the second water outlet 22 via the third water passage 43. This reduces interference with the water intake of the first water outlet 21, ensuring the stability of the water output pattern of the first water outlet 21. It also helps reduce disturbances in the water flow within the first water distribution chamber 311, minimizing water pressure and flow rate losses, and ultimately increasing the output water volume. In other embodiments, the third water passage 43 can be positioned at any other location, and is not limited to this.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first water passage 41 has a water flow acceleration section 411 and a water flow receiving section 412. The first water outlet 21, the water flow receiving section 412, and the water flow acceleration section 411 are connected in sequence. The second water passage 42 is aligned with the water flow receiving section 412. The water flow area S1 at the inlet end of the water flow acceleration section 411 is smaller than the water flow area S2 at the outlet end of the water flow receiving section 412. Therefore, when the water flow in the first water distribution chamber 311 enters the first water outlet 21, it needs to pass through the narrower water flow acceleration section 411 to increase the water flow speed. Since the water flow area S1 at the inlet end of the water flow acceleration section 411 is smaller than the water flow area S2 at the outlet end of the water flow receiving section 412, the water flow can pass smoothly through the first water passage 41, which can reduce the flow rate. Regarding velocity loss, specifically, when the lateral water flow in the first water distribution chamber 311 enters the first water outlet 21, it needs to pass through a narrower water flow acceleration section 411 to increase its velocity. Then, in the water flow receiving section 412, the vertical water flow input from the second water distribution chamber 321 via the second water passage 42 collides with the lateral water flow in the water flow receiving section 412, slowing down the lateral water flow velocity. However, because the lateral water flow is accelerated, the degree of inhibition of the lateral water flow by the vertical water flow is weakened; that is, the proportion of vertical water flow required to neutralize the lateral water flow is increased. Correspondingly, in the complete process of decreasing lateral water flow and increasing vertical water flow, the time proportion of particulate water flow discharged from the first water outlet 21 increases. In other embodiments, the first water passage 41 can also adopt any other suitable shape, such as a uniform straight or curved channel, and is not limited to this.
[0050] In this embodiment, each water flow receiving section 412 corresponds to three second water passages 42. The lateral area of the receiving section is similar to the total lateral area of the three second water passages 42, which is sufficient to supply water to the first water outlet 21. Furthermore, dividing the water flow into multiple second water passages 42 allows the water flow from each second water passage 42 to enter the water flow receiving section 412 more evenly. Simultaneously, the flow velocity of water entering the water flow receiving section 412 in multiple segments is gentler than when the water flows in as a single stream, allowing the state of lateral water inflow with particulate water to be maintained for a longer period during the water flow distribution process. In other embodiments, the number of second water passages 42 can be flexibly adjusted as needed.
[0051] Reference Figure 5 In this embodiment, the water inlet area S1 of the water flow acceleration section 411 is greater than 1.2 times the water outlet area S3 of the first water outlet 21 and less than 3 times the water outlet area S3 of the first water outlet 21. Under the household water environment, it can produce optimal particulate water, and the particulate water mode of the first water outlet 21 can be maintained for a long time during the process of adjusting the flow of the first water channel 312 and the second water channel 322.
[0052] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a first water guide seat 51 is provided in the first water distribution cavity 311 corresponding to the first water outlet 21, and a first water passage 41 is provided in the first water guide seat 51. The bottom surface of the first water passage 41 is higher than the bottom surface of the first water distribution cavity 311 by a distance, which can improve the uniformity of water entering each first water outlet 21.
[0053] In this embodiment, a second water guide seat 52 is provided in the first water distribution cavity 311 corresponding to the second water outlet 22. A fourth water passage 44 is provided in the second water guide seat 52. The fourth water passage 44 connects the second water outlet 22 and the first water distribution cavity 311. The bottom surface of the fourth water passage 44 is higher than the bottom surface of the first water distribution cavity 311 by a distance, which can improve the uniformity of water intake of each second water outlet 22.
[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 11 In this embodiment, the shower head body 10 includes a water outlet plate 11, a water distribution plate 12, and a rear cover 13 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The first water outlet hole 21 and the second water outlet hole 22 are both disposed on the water outlet plate 11, and the second water passage 42 is disposed on the water distribution plate 12. The first water distribution cavity 311 is formed by the water outlet plate 11 and the water distribution plate 12, and the second water distribution cavity 321 is formed by the water distribution plate 12 and the rear cover 13. The structure is simple and convenient for processing, forming, and assembly. In other embodiments, the shower head body 10 may also adopt other suitable shapes and structures, and is not limited to this.
[0055] In this embodiment, the shower head body 10 also includes a faceplate 14. The water outlet plate 11 is a flexible plate and is clamped by the water distribution plate 12 and the faceplate 14, which can improve the sealing effect and reduce leakage. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first water guide seat 51 and the second water guide seat 52 are both disposed on the water outlet plate 11. The first water passage 41 and the fourth water passage 44 are respectively formed into grooves on the first water guide seat 51 and the second water guide seat 52. Combined with the flexible water outlet plate 11 and the clamping of the faceplate 14, the first water guide seat 51 and the second water guide seat 52 can be pressed tightly onto the water distribution plate 12, thereby sealing the first water passage 41 and the fourth water passage 44 to form a hole. This allows the first water passage 41 and the fourth water passage 44 to stably guide the water flow laterally, facilitating the processing and shaping of the water outlet plate 11, the first water passage 41, and the fourth water passage 44. The water outlet plate 11 can be made of commonly used flexible materials such as silicone or rubber. In other embodiments, the first water guide seat 51 and the second water guide seat 52 may also be disposed on the water distribution plate 12, and the first water passage 41 and the fourth water passage 44 may also be made into a groove shape and can also be closed by the flexible water outlet plate 11; of course, in some embodiments, the first water guide seat 51 and the second water guide seat 52 may also be disposed on the water distribution plate 12 and the other on the water outlet plate 11, and the first water passage 41 and the fourth water passage 44 may also be made directly into a hole shape.
[0056] The rear cover 13, water distribution plate 12, water outlet plate 11 and front cover 14 can be connected by common methods such as screws, clips, welding, etc. Those skilled in the art can choose flexibly as needed, which will not be described in detail here.
[0057] In this embodiment, the regulating valve 34 includes a valve chamber 341 disposed within the shower head body 10 and a valve core 342 rotatably disposed within the valve chamber 341. The side wall of the valve chamber 341 is provided with a first water inlet 351, a second water inlet 352, and a water inlet connection 353. The first water distribution channel 312 is connected to the valve chamber 341 through the first water inlet 351, and the second water distribution channel 322 is connected to the valve chamber 341 through the second water inlet 352. The water inlet 33 is connected to the valve chamber 341 through a main water inlet channel 354 via the water inlet connection. Interface 353 is connected to valve cavity 341; valve core 342 has a valve plate 343, which is attached to the side wall of valve cavity 341 and is used to completely or partially block the first water inlet 351, the second water inlet 352 or the water inlet connection 353 as it rotates. The valve plate 343 can simultaneously partially block the first water inlet 351 and the second water inlet 352. The regulating valve 34 has a simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and can flexibly adjust the water outlet mode by rotating the valve core 342, which is convenient to operate. In this embodiment, the first water inlet 351, the second water inlet 352, and the inlet connection 353 are similar in shape and size. There is one valve plate 343, which is slightly larger than any of the first water inlet 351, the second water inlet 352, and the inlet connection 353. The first water inlet 351 and the second water inlet 352 are adjacent to each other, and the inlet connection 353 is located on the opposite side of the first water inlet 351 and the second water inlet 352. Thus, the valve plate 343 can only completely close the first water inlet. One of the inlet 351, the second inlet 352, and the inlet connection 353, in use, when the valve plate 343 is aligned with the inlet connection 353, closes the inlet connection 353, at which point the shower head is in the off state. When the valve plate 343 is aligned with the second inlet 33, it closes the second water channel 322, at which point only the first water channel 312 flows into the first water distribution chamber 311, and the first outlet 21 and the second outlet 22 only output shower water; while Subsequently, as the valve core 342 continues to rotate, the valve plate 343 gradually opens the second inlet 33 and gradually blocks the first inlet 33. This allows for the adjustment of the flow rate in the first water channel 312 and the second water channel 322, and also adjusts the flow rate ratio between the first water chamber 311 and the second water chamber 321, thereby adjusting the water outlet mode of the first outlet 21. Furthermore, combined with the third water passage 43 provided in this embodiment, when the valve plate 343 closes the first water outlet 351, the water flow will only enter the second water chamber 321, but can still enter the first outlet 21 through the second water passage 42 and the first water chamber 311 through the third water passage 43 before exiting from the second outlet 22. This maintains the water flow from the first outlet 21 and the second outlet 22, preventing accidental shutdown of the shower head and avoiding impact on the water heater, especially preventing accidental shutdown and restart of the gas water heater. This helps maintain a constant water temperature and improves the user experience.In other embodiments, the regulating valve 34 may also employ other commonly used valve body structures, and is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the shower head body 10 has a handle section 15, and the main water inlet channel 354 is disposed inside the handle section 15.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second water outlet 22 is a tapered hole that gradually narrows from top to bottom, which can increase the water flow velocity and achieve a pressurization effect. In other embodiments, the second water outlet 22 may also adopt other suitable shapes such as a straight circular hole.
[0059] In this embodiment, the number of first water outlet holes 21 is 20-25, and the number of second water outlet holes 22 is 28-33. In most water usage environments, this number ensures sufficient water fragmentation in each first water outlet hole 21, fully utilizes the water supply pressure and flow rate, and balances water quality and output volume. In other embodiments, the number of first water outlet holes 21 and second water outlet holes 22 can be selected as needed and is not limited to this.
[0060] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.
[0061] In this invention, the directional description is based on the showerhead's normal operating state, i.e., the water outlet direction of the first water outlet 21 and the second water outlet 22 is downward. This aligns with the general understanding of those skilled in the art and is used solely for ease of description and understanding. It should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. In actual use, the showerhead's orientation can be adjusted as needed. Furthermore, this invention is not limited to shower applications; in certain situations, it can also be used in the water outlet structure of faucets, production spray equipment, etc.
[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
