Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bathroom products, specifically relating to a button-type shower water circuit switching device. Background Technology

[0002] Current shower products can mix hot and cold water and supply it from different outlets. These outlets connect to fixed shower heads, portable shower heads, and other water pipes to meet user needs. The mixing of hot and cold water and the switching of water outlets require a water circuit switching device. Existing water circuit switching devices consist of a main body, water circuits machined within the main body, and on / off control valves and switching valves on the water circuits to control the mixing of hot and cold water and the switching of water outlets. Currently, most shower products on the market use a rotary switching valve for water distribution switching, while some use a push-button switching valve.

[0003] The water circuit and chamber structure of the main body of the push-button switching valve device are more complex. Currently, the production and processing generally adopts the die casting method to first form the main body as a whole, and then use a machining center to precision machine the internal water circuit and chamber. This is also the mainstream processing technology at present, which leads to higher processing costs.

[0004] In addition, current shower products often include digital displays or ambient lighting to provide a better user experience. However, these displays or lighting require an external power source, posing certain safety hazards, or they use small rechargeable batteries, which still require charging, making them quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background, this utility model provides a button-type shower water circuit switching device. It improves the structural design of the main body of the water circuit switching device, simplifies the processing technology, effectively reduces processing costs, and adds a micro turbine generator to the water circuit to power the digital display or ambient light, making it safe and convenient.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A push-button shower water circuit switching device includes a housing, a hot water inlet pipe, a cold water inlet pipe, a push-button switching valve, a first water outlet pipe, a micro turbine generator, and a second water outlet pipe. A main body is fixedly installed inside the housing. The main body includes a main base plate. A cylindrical platform is provided at the left end of the main base plate. The front face of the cylindrical platform has a switch control valve mounting chamber, and the rear face of the cylindrical platform has a cold water interface chamber communicating with the switch control valve mounting chamber. Four linearly distributed, forward-facing switching chambers are provided on the front face of the main base plate. The mixing chambers are interconnected. The left side of the mixing chamber is connected to the motor mounting chamber with an upward opening. The motor mounting chamber is connected to the switch control valve mounting chamber through a third processing channel. The right end face of the main body has a first water outlet chamber connected to the switching chamber. The upper end face of the main body has two vertically penetrating third water outlet chambers that are independently connected to the switching chamber. The rear end face of the main body has a second water outlet chamber connected to the switching chamber. The right side of the rear end face of the main body has a hot water interface chamber. The hot water interface chamber is connected to the switch control valve mounting chamber through a hot water channel and a connecting channel.

[0008] As a further configuration of the above scheme, the hot water channel is arranged in a left-right direction, the hot water channel runs through to the right, and the hot water channel is connected to the lower half of the hot water interface cavity. The connecting channel is arranged in a front-back direction, the front end of the connecting channel is connected to the installation chamber of the switch control valve, the connecting channel and the hot water channel are arranged perpendicularly and are not on the same horizontal plane, and the rear port of the connecting channel and the left port of the hot water channel are connected to the first processing channel that runs vertically downward.

[0009] As a further feature of the above scheme, the third processing channel is arranged in a left-right direction, with the third processing channel running through to the left and connecting to the switch control valve installation chamber and the motor installation chamber in sequence to the right. The second water outlet chamber is connected to the switching chamber through the second processing channel running vertically downward.

[0010] As a further feature of the above scheme, the hot water channel, the first processing channel, the second processing channel, and the connecting channel are cylindrical channels. The connecting water passages between the switching chamber and the first outlet chamber, the second outlet chamber, and the third outlet chamber are all cylindrical channels. The connecting water passages between the switch control valve installation chamber and the cold water interface chamber are all cylindrical channels.

[0011] As a further feature of the above scheme, the outer openings of the hot water channel, the first processing channel, the second processing channel and the third processing channel are provided with locking threads, and sealing bolts are connected to the locking threads.

[0012] As a further provision of the above scheme, the hot water inlet pipe is installed and connected in the hot water interface cavity, the cold water inlet pipe is installed and connected in the cold water interface cavity, the switch control valve is installed in the switch control valve installation cavity, the push-button switching valve device is installed in the switching cavity, the first water outlet pipe device is installed and connected in the first water outlet cavity, the second water outlet pipe device is installed and connected in the second water outlet cavity, and the micro turbine generator is installed in the motor installation cavity.

[0013] As a further feature of the above solution, the micro turbine generator is provided with a maintenance cover. The maintenance cover is detachably mounted on the outer shell. When the micro turbine generator needs to be repaired, only the maintenance cover needs to be removed, without disassembling the outer shell, thus reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] By rationally arranging the positions of the hot water interface chamber, cold water interface chamber, switch control valve installation chamber, and switching chamber within the main body, and by making the connecting water passages between each chamber within the main body cylindrical channels, the connecting water passages can be directly connected to the outside. If direct connection to the outside cannot be guaranteed, they can be indirectly connected to the outside through the first, second, and third processing channels. This allows the connecting water passages and each chamber within the main body to be directly processed by a machining center, eliminating the need for processes such as die casting. This greatly simplifies the processing procedures and effectively reduces processing costs.

[0016] A miniature turbine generator is installed, which uses water flow to automatically generate electricity to power the digital display or ambient light of the shower product, improving safety and convenience. At the same time, a removable maintenance cover is installed on the outside of the miniature turbine generator to improve the ease of device maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The working process of this utility model is as follows: In use, hot water enters the hot water channel 2011 through the hot water inlet pipe 3, and then enters the switch control valve installation chamber 2051 through the first processing channel 2013 and the connecting channel 2015. Cold water enters the cold water interface chamber 2052 through the cold water inlet pipe 4, and then enters the switch control valve installation chamber 2051. The switch control valve 5 controls the on / off state of the cold and hot water circuits. Rotating the switch control valve 5 controls the flow rate of cold and hot water. The water temperature is adjusted so that the cold and hot water enter the third processing channel 2053 after passing through the switch control valve 5, flow through the motor installation chamber 204, and finally enter the mixing chamber 207. By pressing different button-type switching valve devices 6, the connection and disconnection between each switching chamber 202 and the third water outlet chamber 203, the first water outlet chamber 2012, and the second water outlet chamber 206 are controlled, thereby controlling the water output of the hot water inlet pipe 3, the cold water inlet pipe 4, the first water outlet pipe device 8, and the second water outlet pipe device 9.

[0035] As water flows within the main body, it simultaneously drives the rotation of the micro turbine generator 7. The micro turbine generator 7 generates electricity to power the digital display or ambient lighting. The electricity generated by the micro turbine generator 7 is low-voltage and very safe. Further optimization involves incorporating a miniature rechargeable battery into the micro turbine generator 7 to store the generated electricity, enabling automatic charging for great convenience.

Those skilled in the art can select appropriate models and specifications according to design requirements. Therefore, the structure and working principle of the switch control valve 5, the push-button switching valve device 6, and the micro turbine generator 7 will not be described in detail. The general structural design of the switch control valve mounting chamber that cooperates with the switch control valve 5 and the switching chamber that cooperates with the push-button switching valve device 6 is also a conventional design.
