Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to a shower head guide pipe. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, showerheads with electric functions are becoming increasingly popular, such as those with automatic water flow adjustment modes and massage functions. These showerheads usually require battery power. To ensure the showerhead's operating time, it needs to accommodate a certain number of batteries, and the placement of the batteries usually depends on the internal space of the showerhead's flow tube.
[0003] The applicant has discovered that the prior art has at least the following technical problems:
[0004] Firstly, shower head hoses are typically straight-through, meaning the water flow channel runs linearly along the hose's axis. This occupies internal space, limiting battery storage. Including a battery compartment would waste resources. In short, the internal space layout of current shower head hoses is inefficient, unable to accommodate more batteries within a limited space, resulting in short battery life. Secondly, to accommodate the same number of batteries, the handle diameter is large, making it uncomfortable to hold. Furthermore, to accommodate the same number of batteries, the handle is long and bulky, inconvenient for outdoor carrying and storage.
[0005] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shower head guide pipe to solve the technical problem that existing shower head guide pipes have design defects, mostly adopting a straight-through structure, which causes the internal space of the guide pipe to be occupied by the flow channel, thus limiting the battery storage space. The various technical effects of the preferred technical solution provided by this utility model are detailed below.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a shower head guide pipe, including a pipe body and a guide structure. The pipe body has a receiving cavity 4, which includes a battery cavity 401 and a water flow cavity 402 arranged in parallel. The guide structure is detachably installed at the inlet end of the pipe body. The guide structure includes a first guide pipe 6, a turning part and a second guide pipe 9 connected in sequence along the water flow direction. The second flow channel 901 of the second guide pipe 9 is eccentrically arranged and communicates with the water flow cavity 402.
[0029] This invention employs an asymmetrical parallel arrangement of the battery chamber 401 and the water flow chamber 402, with a flow guide structure at the inlet end of the pipe, and the second flow channel 901 is eccentrically positioned to avoid the battery chamber 401. This design maximizes the usable space of the battery chamber 401 within the limited space of the flow guide pipe, achieving optimized space utilization. That is, while maintaining the same pipe volume, it provides a larger capacity for the battery chamber 401 to accommodate more or larger batteries 10, while ensuring smooth water flow.
[0030] It should be noted that battery 10 uses waterproof batteries from existing technology, and the specific number and specifications of batteries 10 can be set according to usage requirements.
[0031] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the steering unit includes a first steering wheel 7 and a second steering wheel 8. The first steering wheel 7 is integrally formed with the first guide pipe 6, and the second steering wheel 8 is integrally formed with the second guide pipe 9. The first steering wheel 7 and the second steering wheel 8 are detachably sealed to form a steering flow channel 804 that connects the first flow channel 601 and the second flow channel 901 of the first guide pipe 6.
[0032] During assembly, the first steering wheel 7 and the second steering wheel 8 are detachably sealed together, so that the water can flow smoothly from the first flow channel 601 through the steering flow channel 804 to the second flow channel 901, providing a complete flow path for the water.
[0033] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the lower part of the first steering wheel 7 is provided with a first insertion groove 701, and the first steering wheel 7 is provided with a plurality of first screw holes 702 arranged around the first insertion groove 701; the upper part of the second steering wheel 8 is provided with a second insertion groove 801 that is inserted and cooperates with the first insertion groove 701, and the second steering wheel 8 is provided with a plurality of second screw holes 802 arranged around the second insertion groove 801 and adapted to the first screw holes 702.
[0034] During assembly, first insert the first insertion slot 701 into the second insertion slot 801, aligning the first screw hole 702 and the second screw hole 802 during insertion. Then, use bolts to pass through the first screw hole 702 and the second screw hole 802 in sequence and tighten them, thereby securely connecting the first steering wheel 7 and the second steering wheel 8 together.
[0035] As an optional implementation, a sealing structure is provided between the first steering wheel 7 and the second steering wheel 8.
[0036] Furthermore, the sealing structure includes a sealing ring as in the prior art. The sealing ring is disposed between the first insertion groove 701 and the second insertion groove 801.
[0037] When the first steering wheel 7 and the second steering wheel 8 are pressed together by plugging and bolting, the sealing ring is compressed and deformed, filling the tiny gap between the first plug groove 701 and the second plug groove 801, forming an effective sealing barrier to prevent water from leaking out from the connection between the two when passing through the steering part.
[0038] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first flow channel 601, the turning flow channel 804, and the second flow channel 901 are Z-shaped.
[0039] Furthermore, the first flow channel 601 and the second flow channel 901 extend axially parallel to the tube body, while the turning flow channel 804 extends radially parallel to the tube body.
[0040] This configuration allows for changes in the direction of water flow based on the specific spatial layout of the battery chamber 401 and the water flow chamber 402.
[0041] When the battery cavity 401 needs to occupy a large space in the tube body's receiving cavity 4, the Z-shaped flow channel design can change the direction of water flow by turning, so that the water can smoothly enter the second flow pipe 9 from the first guide pipe 6 through the turning part, and smoothly flow into the water flow cavity 402, effectively avoiding the area where the battery cavity 401 is located, thereby achieving the optimization of functional zoning within a limited space.
[0042] As an optional implementation, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the pipe body includes a first shell 1 and a second shell 2. The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are detachably sealed together to form a limiting cavity 3, a receiving cavity 4 and a discharging cavity 5 arranged sequentially along the water flow direction. The limiting cavity 3 is used to install the flow guiding structure, and the discharging cavity 5 is used to discharge the water flow.
[0043] During assembly, first install the battery cavity 401 part into the receiving cavity 4 to install the battery 10, then install the flow guiding structure into the limiting cavity 3, and finally fasten the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 together to complete the assembly of the tube.
[0044] Furthermore, a first positioning groove 1021 and a second positioning groove 2021 are respectively provided on the first inlet end plate 102 of the first housing 1 and the second inlet end plate 202 of the second housing 2. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are fastened together, the first positioning groove 1021 and the second positioning groove 2021 together form a positioning hole for the first guide pipe 6 to pass through, so as to accurately position the first guide pipe 6 and ensure the accurate relative position between the guide structure and the pipe body.
[0045] A first limiting plate 103 is provided on the inner wall of the first housing 1, and a second limiting plate 203 corresponding to the first limiting plate 103 is provided on the inner wall of the second housing 2. The first inlet end plate 102, the second inlet end plate 202, the first limiting plate 103, and the second limiting plate 203 together form a limiting cavity 3, which is used to constrain and fix the turning part. At the same time, the first limiting plate 103 and the second limiting plate 203 are respectively provided with a first limiting groove 1031 and a second limiting groove 2031. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are fastened together, the first limiting groove 1031 and the second limiting groove 2031 together form a limiting groove that engages with the limiting protrusion 803 on the turning part. This allows the turning part to be firmly fixed in the limiting cavity 3, thereby ensuring that the flow guiding structure is stably fixed at the inlet end of the pipe body and will not shift under external force.
[0046] The dual-cavity structure of the accommodating cavity 4 enables functional partitioning of the battery 10 and the water flow. The battery cavity 401 is used to house the battery 10, and the water flow cavity 402 is used to accommodate the water flow.
[0047] The outlet cavity 5 is used to guide the water in the water flow cavity 402 to the shower head.
[0048] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, a limiting protrusion 803 is provided on the first steering wheel 7 and / or the second steering wheel 8, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting protrusion 803 is provided on the limiting cavity 3.
[0049] Furthermore, a T-shaped limiting protrusion 803 is provided on the lower surface of the second steering wheel 8, and two limiting grooves together form a limiting groove that engages with the T-shaped limiting protrusion 803.
[0050] As an optional implementation, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a sleeve 101 is provided on the first housing 1, and a fixing screw hole 201 adapted to the sleeve 101 is provided on the second housing 2.
[0051] By screwing the bolt into the fixing screw hole 201 and through the sleeve 101, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be firmly connected together to achieve a detachable sealed connection, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly.
[0052] The sleeve 101 and the first limiting plate 103 located in the battery cavity 401 can be used as limiting members. Through the cooperation of the sleeve 101 and the first limiting plate 103, the position of the battery 10 is restricted, so that the battery 10 can be stably placed in the battery cavity 401.
