Later, it was modified into a shower device, making it a common bathroom item. Some shower heads use a water flow switching mechanism to achieve different water flow patterns.

[0003] In related technologies, the water outlet switching structure changes the water outlet direction in the shower head by pushing a button, thereby changing the water outlet mode of the shower head to meet different usage needs and improve the applicability of the shower head.

[0004] However, in practical applications, pushing the button is sometimes cumbersome and makes it inconvenient to switch water flow modes, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, in practical applications, users can press a button to cause the first chamfer of the limiting rod to abut against the groove wall near the first elastic member of the limiting groove, so that the limiting plate slides and compresses the first elastic member, and the first elastic member drives the limiting plate to reset, so that the groove wall of the limiting groove is embedded in the groove, thereby restricting the second elastic member from driving the limiting rod to reset. At this time, water can flow out from the corresponding water outlet to realize one of the water outlet methods. At the same time, by pressing one of the buttons, the other limiting rods can be reset, thereby restricting water from flowing out from other water outlets. The operation is simple and convenient, thus facilitating the switching of water outlet methods.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a second chamfer, when the wall of the limiting groove is embedded in the groove, pressing the corresponding button will cause the second chamfer to abut against the wall of the limiting groove, so that the other limiting rods can be reset under the drive of the second elastic element, thereby ensuring that the shower head is stably in one of the water outlet modes.

[0016] Preferably, the limiting rod is provided with a rubber ring, which is used to seal the water outlet.

At this time, water can flow out from the corresponding water outlet to realize one of the water outlet methods. At the same time, by pressing one of the buttons, the other limiting rods can be reset, thereby restricting water from flowing out from other water outlets. The operation is simple and convenient, thus facilitating the switching of water outlet methods. 2.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] This application discloses a water outlet switching structure.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water outlet switching structure includes a water inlet seat 1, a limiting plate 2, a first elastic element 3, a water outlet seat 4, and multiple pressing components 5. The water inlet seat 1 is a semi-circular arc-shaped shell, and a through water inlet hole 11 is opened on one side of the water inlet seat 1. The limiting plate 2 is an arc-shaped plate body, and the limiting plate 2 is slidably connected to the water inlet seat 1. The sliding direction is the circumference of the water inlet seat 1, and the limiting plate 2 has multiple limiting grooves 21 spaced apart along its own circumference.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first elastic element 3 is a spring. One end of the first elastic element 3 elastically abuts against the inner end of the water inlet seat 1, and the other end elastically abuts against one end of the limiting plate 2, so as to drive the limiting plate 2 to slide so that the end of the limiting plate 2 away from the first elastic element 3 abuts against the water inlet seat 1. The shape of the water outlet seat 4 is adapted to the shape of the water inlet seat 1. The water outlet seat 4 is installed on the upper side of the water inlet seat 1, and multiple water outlet holes 41 are spaced apart along its circumference on the lower side of the water outlet seat 4. The number of water outlet holes 41 is the same as the number of limiting grooves 21, and the position of each water outlet hole 41 corresponds to the position of each limiting groove 21.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The number of pressing components 5 is the same as the number of limiting grooves 21. Specifically, the pressing component 5 includes a limiting rod 51, a button 52, and a second elastic element 53. The limiting rod 51 is slidably connected to the water outlet seat 4, and the lower end of the limiting rod 51 passes through the water outlet 41. At the same time, the lower end of the limiting rod 51 has a first chamfer 511 along its circumference and an embedded groove 512. The embedded groove 512 is located above the first chamfer 511 and is used to embed the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 near the end of the first elastic element 3. The button 52 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limiting rod 51, and the button 52 has a mark to help the user understand the water outlet mode corresponding to the button 52. The second elastic element 53 is also a spring. The upper end of the second elastic element 53 elastically abuts against the limiting rod 51, and the lower end elastically abuts against the water inlet seat 1, so as to drive the limiting rod 51 away from the limiting groove 21, so that the limiting rod 51 blocks the water inlet 11.

[0032] In practical applications, in the initial state, the second elastic element 53 drives the limiting rod 51 away from the limiting groove 21, so that the first chamfer 511 of the limiting rod 51 is located above the limiting groove 21. At this time, the limiting rod 51 blocks the water outlet 41 to restrict the water flow.

[0033] By pressing button 52, the user causes the first chamfer 511 of the limiting rod 51 to abut against the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 near the first elastic member 3, so that the limiting plate 2 slides and compresses the first elastic member 3. After the first chamfer 511 passes through the limiting groove 21, the first elastic member 3 can drive the limiting plate 2 to reset, so that the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 is embedded in the groove 512, thereby restricting the second elastic member 53 from driving the limiting rod 51 to reset. At this time, the limiting rod 51 releases the blockage of the water outlet 41, and water can flow out from the corresponding water outlet 41 to realize one of the water outlet methods.

[0034] At the same time, pressing one of the buttons 52 can reset the other limit rods 51, thus restricting water from flowing out of the other water outlets 41. The operation is simple and convenient, making it easy to switch the water outlet mode.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the limiting disc 2 has an arc-shaped groove 22 at one end of each limiting groove 21 near the first elastic member 3, so as to abut against the first chamfer 511, thereby facilitating the first chamfer 511 to drive the limiting disc 2 to slide, making it easier for the user to press the button 52, and thus facilitating the switching of the shower head's water output mode.

[0036] In some embodiments, the water inlet seat 1 has a plurality of sliding columns 12 protruding at intervals along its own length direction. Correspondingly, the limiting plate 2 has a plurality of sliding grooves 23 at intervals along its own length direction. Each sliding column 12 is slidably limited in each sliding groove 23 to realize the sliding connection between the limiting plate 2 and the water inlet seat 1, so as to ensure the stability of the sliding of the limiting plate 2 and thus ensure the stability of switching water outlet mode.

[0037] In some embodiments, a sleeve post 24 is formed protruding from one end of the limiting disc 2 near the first elastic member 3, and one end of the first elastic member 3 is sleeved in the sleeve post 24 to limit the first elastic member 3 from excessive bending and deformation, thereby improving the working stability of the first elastic member 3, driving the limiting disc 2 to slide stably, and improving the service life of the first elastic member 3.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the limiting rod 51 is provided with a second chamfer 513 on the upper side of the groove 512. When the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 is embedded in the groove 512, the corresponding button 52 is pressed to make the second chamfer 513 abut against the groove wall of the limiting groove 21, so that the other limiting rods 51 can be reset under the drive of the second elastic member 53, so as to ensure that the shower head is stably in one of the water outlet modes.

[0039] In some embodiments, a rubber ring 514 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 51. The rubber ring 514 is used to block the water outlet 41 to improve the stability of the blockage of the water outlet 41, thereby ensuring the water output effect of the shower head.

[0040] In some embodiments, the button 52 has a snap-fit ​​groove 521, and the upper end of the limiting rod 51 is spherical and snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 521, so as to realize a detachable connection between the button 52 and the limiting rod 51.

[0041] In some embodiments, a guide post 522 protrudes from the lower end of the button 52, and a guide groove 42 is provided on the upper side of the water outlet seat 4. The guide post 522 is slidably connected in the guide groove 42 to improve the stability of pressing the button 52.

[0042] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In actual application, in the initial state, the second elastic element 53 drives the limiting rod 51 away from the limiting groove 21, so that the first chamfer 511 of the limiting rod 51 is located above the limiting groove 21. At this time, the limiting rod 51 blocks the water outlet 41 to restrict the water outlet.

[0043] By pressing button 52, the user causes the first chamfer 511 of the limiting rod 51 to abut against the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 near the first elastic member 3, so that the limiting plate 2 slides and compresses the first elastic member 3. After the first chamfer 511 passes through the limiting groove 21, the first elastic member 3 can drive the limiting plate 2 to reset, so that the groove wall of the limiting groove 21 is embedded in the groove 512, thereby restricting the second elastic member 53 from driving the limiting rod 51 to reset. At this time, the limiting rod 51 releases the blockage of the water outlet 41, and water can flow out from the corresponding water outlet 41 to realize one of the water outlet methods.

[0044] At the same time, pressing one of the buttons 52 can reset the other limit rods 51, thus restricting water from flowing out of the other water outlets 41. The operation is simple and convenient, making it easy to switch the water outlet mode.

[0045] This application also discloses a shower head.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 The water outlet switching structure includes a mounting shell 6 and the water outlet switching structure described in the above embodiment. The water outlet seat 4 is installed on the mounting shell 6 to realize the installation of the water outlet switching structure.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
