Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and in particular to an integrated water-temperature power generation shower body. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people have increasingly higher demands for comfort and safety in their home bathrooms. Shower units, as commonly used bathroom fixtures, have always seen significant improvements in performance and functionality, making them a key area for product innovation. Traditional shower unit designs typically focus on water flow, nozzle shape, and ease of installation, often neglecting real-time monitoring and display of water temperature. Existing shower units usually control water temperature by adjusting the mixing of hot and cold water, but lack a dedicated temperature display function. Users cannot know the real-time changes in water temperature, and due to significant temperature fluctuations, it's difficult to determine if the water temperature is suitable, especially during peak hours. Excessively hot water can cause scalding, while excessively cold water can cause discomfort.

[0003] To solve this technical problem, existing technologies typically involve installing a display screen on the outside of the shower body and setting up a water turbine electrically connected to the display screen inside to display the water temperature in real time. This water turbine generates electricity by the water flow impacting the internal impeller, thereby driving the display screen to show the water temperature in real time, helping users understand the water temperature status and avoiding discomfort caused by excessively high or low water temperatures.

[0004] However, in actual use, because the impeller is usually located inside the pipe, water flow will encounter resistance, affecting the water flow rate and reducing shower comfort. Furthermore, hydroelectric generators are prone to malfunction after prolonged use, resulting in a shorter lifespan and impacting their stability and functionality.

[0005] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides an integrated water temperature power generation shower body, which aims to solve the problems of inconvenient water temperature monitoring in existing showers, the impact of water generator resistance on flow rate, and short service life.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The integrated water-temperature power generation shower body includes a detachable base box and a top cover. The top surface of the base box has an inwardly recessed cavity, within which a water supply pipe is securely installed. With the length of the base box as the left-right direction, the water supply pipe includes a first pipe and a second pipe arranged in parallel. The right ends of the first and second pipes are interconnected and equipped with water valves. The first pipe, from left to right, has a hot water inlet, a shower connector, and a cold water inlet. Below the cold water inlet is a mixing section for hot and cold water flow. The top surface of the mixing section has a receiving cavity, within which a water-temperature power generation module is sealed. The second pipe... The device includes a functional water outlet interface and a detection interface arranged sequentially from left to right. The right side of the base box has a switch knob for controlling the opening and closing of the water valve, and the front side has a display unit for displaying the water temperature. The display unit is connected to a first wire, a second wire, and a third wire. The first wire is connected to the output terminal of the water temperature power generation module. The end of the second wire has a temperature detection probe sealed and embedded in the detection interface. The end of the third wire is connected to a Hall sensor fixed inside the right side of the base box. The switch knob contains a magnet. When the knob is turned on, the magnet aligns with the Hall sensor to trigger the display unit to work; when the knob is turned off, the misalignment causes the display unit to lose power.

[0009] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the inner wall of the right side of the aforementioned base box, and the aforementioned Hall sensor is fixed in the aforementioned slot, with the sensing surface of the Hall sensor facing the rotation trajectory of the aforementioned switch knob.

[0010] Furthermore, the aforementioned display unit includes a display screen, a microcontroller, and a battery.

[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned water valve includes a valve core, and the valve stem of the valve core is connected to the switch knob via a spline structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the front side of the aforementioned base box is provided with function buttons corresponding to the aforementioned functional water outlet interface, and the bottom surface is provided with a bottom water outlet and an aeration water outlet connected to the aforementioned second pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the aforementioned top cover is provided with a connection hole for the shower connector to pass through, and a pattern layer for display function is provided below the connection hole.

[0014] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of this utility model, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This invention achieves real-time monitoring and display of water temperature by incorporating a display unit, a water-temperature power generation module for powering the display unit, and a switch knob for turning the display unit on or off within the base box. During application, the water-temperature power generation module provides stable power to the display unit. When the switch knob is turned on, the temperature detection probe continuously monitors the water temperature and transmits the data to the display unit, enabling the display unit to show real-time water temperature changes. Compared to existing hydroelectric power generation structures, this design's water-temperature power generation module does not rely on impellers or other mechanical components directly contacting the water flow, thus extending its service life. It also reduces water flow resistance, avoiding any impact on shower water flow and significantly improving the user's showering comfort. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3The integrated water-heating power generation shower body includes a base box 10 and a top cover 20 that are detachably connected to each other. In this embodiment, the base box 10 is elongated, and the top cover 20 is adapted to the shape of the base box 10. The base box 10 and the top cover 20 can be detachably connected by screws. The top surface of the base box 10 has an inwardly recessed cavity 11, and a water supply pipe is fixedly installed in the cavity 11. With the length direction of the base box 10 as the left-right direction, the water supply pipe includes a first pipe 31 and a second pipe 32 arranged in parallel. The right ends of the first pipe 31 and the second pipe 32 are interconnected and equipped with a water valve (not shown in the figure). The first pipe 31... 1. From left to right, a hot water interface 311, a shower connector 312, and a cold water interface 313 are arranged in sequence. Below the cold water interface 313, a mixing section 314 for hot and cold water to pass through is provided. The top surface of the mixing section 314 has a receiving cavity 315, and a water temperature power generation module 316 is sealed inside the receiving cavity 315. The second pipe 32 includes a functional water outlet interface 321 and a detection interface 322 arranged from left to right. When the hot water interface 311 and the cold water interface 313 are connected to the water flow connector on the wall, hot water and cold water flow from the first pipe 31 through the mixing section 314 and the water valve, and finally flow out from the second pipe 32.

[0025] The right side of the base box 10 is provided with a switch knob 12 for controlling the opening and closing of the water valve, and the front side is provided with a display unit 13 for displaying the water temperature. The water valve includes a valve core, and the valve stem of the valve core is connected to the switch knob 12 through a spline structure. Since this is a conventional technology, it will not be described in detail here. The display unit 13 is electrically connected to a first wire 131, a second wire 132 and a third wire 133. The first wire 131 is connected to the output end of the water temperature power generation module 316. The end of the second wire 132 is provided with a temperature detection probe (not shown in the figure) sealed and embedded in the detection interface 322. The end of the third wire 133 is connected to a Hall sensor 1331 fixed inside the right side of the base box 10. The switch knob 12 is provided with a magnet 121. When the switch knob 12 is turned on, the magnet 121 and the Hall sensor 1331 are aligned to trigger the display unit 13 to work. When it is turned off, the misalignment causes the display unit 13 to be de-energized.

[0026] In application, the water temperature power generation module 316 supplies power to the display unit 13. When the switch knob 12 is turned on, the temperature detection probe can monitor the water temperature in real time and transmit the data to the display unit 13, so that the display unit 13 can display the temperature change in real time, so that the user can clearly see the change in water temperature and avoid discomfort caused by excessively high or low water temperature.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4The inner wall of the right side of the base box 10 is provided with a slot 14, which is an L-shaped slot that runs through the front and back. The Hall sensor 1331 is fixed in the slot 14, and the sensing surface of the Hall sensor 1331 is directly facing the rotation trajectory of the switch knob 12. The display unit 13 includes a display screen, a microcontroller (not shown in the figure), and a battery (not shown in the figure). The microcontroller includes a voltage regulator circuit for connecting the water temperature power generation module 316, a signal conditioning circuit for connecting the temperature detection probe, and a switching circuit for connecting the Hall sensor 1331. With this configuration, the water temperature can be displayed in real time during use. Since the water temperature power generation module 316 is a conventional technology, its principle and structure will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The front side of the base box 10 is provided with function buttons 15 corresponding to the function water outlet interface 321. The bottom surface is provided with a bottom water outlet 16 and an aerator water outlet 17 connected to the second pipe 32. The bottom water outlet 16 can be used to connect to the bottom faucet. The top surface of the top cover 20 is provided with a connection hole 21 for the shower connector 312 to pass through. After the top cover 20 and the base box 10 are installed, the shower connector 312 passes through the connection hole 21 and exits the top cover 20. Below the connection hole 21 is a pattern layer 22 for displaying functions. The pattern layer 22 corresponds to the function buttons 15. When in use, the user can operate the corresponding function buttons 15 according to the pattern layer 22, thereby significantly improving the user experience.

[0029] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
