[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the embedded shower device of the present invention includes a mounting box 1 and a cover 2. The mounting box 1 is a rectangular or similar shaped box structure designed to be embedded in the bathroom wall, flush with the wall surface, to achieve a concealed installation effect. The mounting box 1 is made of corrosion-resistant and water-resistant metal or engineering plastic to adapt to the humid environment of the bathroom. The cover 2 is connected to the mounting box 1 via a rotating structure 5 and can be rotated and opened around a rotating shaft 51. A top shower head 3 is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 2, and the top shower head 3 is connected to a water source via a water pipe 4. When the cover 2 is closed, the top shower head 3 is hidden inside the mounting box 1, and the outer surface of the cover 2 is consistent with the wall surface, improving the overall aesthetics of the bathroom; when the cover 2 is open, the top shower head 3 is exposed and in the working position, allowing the user to shower.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, a rotating structure 5 is provided inside the mounting box 1 to drive the opening and closing of the box cover 2. The rotating structure 5 includes a pair of rotating shafts 51 and a driving device 52. The rotating shafts 51 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the inner sidewall of the mounting box 1 and connected to the mounting box 1 through bearings or similar rotating connectors to ensure flexible and stable rotation. The two sides of the box cover 2 are fixed between the rotating shafts 51, so that the box cover 2 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shafts 51.

[0026] The drive unit 52 includes a motor 521 and a reducer 522. The motor 521 is a DC or AC motor, fixed to the bottom or side wall of the mounting box 1, and its output end is connected to the reducer 522. The reducer 522 employs a planetary reduction structure to reduce the speed of the motor 521 and increase the output torque, thus smoothly driving the opening and closing of the box cover 2. The output end of the reducer 522 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 51 via a gear transmission mechanism 53. The gear transmission mechanism 53 includes a driving gear 531 and a driven gear 532. The driving gear 531 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reducer 522, and the driven gear 532 is fixed to the rotating shaft 51. The driving gear 531 meshes with the driven gear 532 to ensure efficient power transmission. The gears of the gear transmission mechanism 53 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic to ensure durability and low-noise operation.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the installation box 1 also includes an operating device 6 for controlling the water flow and water outlet mode of the shower equipment. The operating device 6 includes a four-way valve and operating buttons. The four-way valve is a multi-channel valve integrating four interfaces: cold water inlet, hot water inlet, shower outlet, and spray outlet. The cold water inlet connects to the cold water pipe 7, the hot water inlet connects to the hot water pipe 8, the shower outlet connects to the overhead shower head 3 via a water guide pipe 4, and the spray outlet connects to the shower head 13 via a water supply pipe 9. The four-way valve contains a valve core, whose rotation is controlled by the operating buttons to adjust the mixing ratio of cold and hot water and the water outlet path. The operating buttons are installed on the outer surface of the installation box 1 or on a control panel on the bathroom wall for easy user operation. The buttons can be designed as mechanical buttons or touch buttons, providing functions such as adjusting water temperature and switching shower / spray modes. The four-way valve and piping system are made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials (such as copper or stainless steel) to ensure long-term reliability.

[0028] To achieve intelligent control of the lid 2, a microcontroller 14 and a lid switch button 15 are installed inside the mounting box 1. The microcontroller 14 is an embedded control unit, integrating a processor, memory, and input / output interfaces. It is fixed in a waterproof compartment inside the mounting box 1 to prevent moisture intrusion. The microcontroller 14 is electrically connected to the motor 521 and the lid switch button 15 via wires. The microcontroller 14 has a pre-stored control program that can receive input signals from the lid switch button 15 and control the start, stop, and rotation direction of the motor 521 according to the signals, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the lid 2. In addition, the microcontroller 14 can be configured to be linked with the buttons of the operating device 6, for example, automatically opening the lid 2 when the user selects the shower mode and automatically closing the lid 2 when the water flow is turned off, further enhancing the intelligent experience.

[0029] The installation box 1 also integrates various functional components via snap-fit ​​connections, including a shower gel container 10, a shampoo container 11, a soap dish 12, and a shower head 13. The shower gel container 10 and shampoo container 11 are detachable containers, built into the side wall or bottom of the installation box 1 and secured with snap-fits, allowing users to easily fill them with liquid detergent for cleaning. The soap dish 12 is an open or lidded shallow box, fixed inside the installation box 1, convenient for storing solid soap. The shower head 13 is snap-fitted to the inner wall of the installation box 1 and connected to a water pipe 9, serving as a supplement to the top spray head 3, providing a handheld spray function. The snap-fit ​​connection design uses elastic or magnetic snaps to ensure secure installation and easy disassembly.

[0030] Working principle: The working process of this embedded shower device is as follows: In the initial state, the mounting box 1 is embedded in the bathroom wall, the box cover 2 is closed, and the overhead shower head 3 is hidden inside the mounting box 1, keeping the wall surface clean. The user presses the box cover switch button 15, the microcontroller 14 receives the signal, and starts the motor 521. The motor 521 reduces its speed through the reducer 522, and transmits power to the rotating shaft 51 through the meshing of the drive gear 531 and the driven gear 532, driving the box cover 2 to open smoothly, revealing the overhead shower head 3. The user adjusts the four-way valve through the buttons on the operating device 6 to select the shower mode of the overhead shower head 3 or the spray mode of the shower head 13, and adjusts the water temperature by mixing the cold water pipe 7 and the hot water pipe 8. The overhead shower head 3 outputs water flow through the water guide pipe 4, and the shower head 13 outputs water flow through the water supply pipe 9 to meet different shower needs. The user can take shower gel or soap from the shower gel box 10, shampoo box 11, or soap box 12 to complete the shower. After use, the user presses the cover switch button 15 again, and the microcontroller 14 controls the motor 521 to rotate in the opposite direction, closing the cover 2 and retracting the top nozzle 3 back into the mounting box 1. If the operating device 6 is linked with the microcontroller 14, the cover 2 can be automatically triggered to close when the water flow is turned off, further simplifying the operation.

[0031] Advantages of the embodiment: This embodiment significantly reduces the space occupied by the shower equipment in the bathroom and enhances the overall aesthetics through the embedded installation box 1 and the concealed overhead shower head 3. The introduction of a microcontroller 14 and a lid switch button 15, combined with a motor 521 and a gear transmission mechanism 53, enables intelligent opening and closing of the lid 2, making operation simple. The four-way valve and multi-functional water outlet design support both overhead spray and shower spray modes to meet diverse needs. The integrated shower gel box 10, shampoo box 11, soap box 12, and shower head 13 facilitate the storage and use of bath products, enhancing practicality. The snap-fit ​​connection design facilitates cleaning and maintenance, extending the equipment's lifespan. This equipment is suitable for modern bathroom renovations, especially for users who value aesthetics and smart technology.
