[0002] Current showerhead products on the market have relatively limited functionality and generally lack real-time monitoring and data interaction capabilities. For example, filter lifespan cannot be displayed intuitively, making it difficult for users to determine when to replace them; water temperature needs to be manually adjusted without real-time feedback, resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, if battery power or an external power source is used, there are issues such as insufficient battery life and inconvenient installation, which does not conform to the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydroelectric shower head to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hydroelectric shower head, comprising a housing, a water flow channel, and a power generation module housing. The water flow channel is installed inside the housing, and the power generation module housing is installed inside the water flow channel. A gap exists between the water flow channel and the power generation module housing for water flow. A hydroelectric generator is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the power generation module housing. The input end of the hydroelectric generator passes through the power generation module housing and is fixedly connected to a hydroelectric impeller. The hydroelectric impeller is placed inside the water flow channel. A control board is installed at the top inside the power generation module housing. The control board is equipped with a BLE Bluetooth module, a rectifier circuit, a display driver circuit, and a power generation detection circuit.

[0005] The showerhead handle incorporates a water turbine embedded in its water flow channel. This turbine measures and displays the showerhead filter lifespan and water temperature. The electricity generated by the turbine is input to the control board, where it is rectified and converted into relevant data by a power generation detection circuit. This data is then displayed, allowing users to intuitively understand the product's operating status and water temperature in real time. The showerhead can connect to a mobile app via a BLE Bluetooth module, uploading usage data to the app for users to view statistical information on water consumption and temperature.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the water flow channel is provided with a water inlet, which is correspondingly arranged with the hydroelectric impeller. The water flow generated through the water inlet drives the hydroelectric impeller to rotate.

[0007] Preferably, a sealing ring is fitted at the connection between the outer shell and the water flow channel to ensure the airtightness of the connection.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the housing is provided with an upper connecting end, and the bottom of the housing is provided with a lower connecting end. The upper connecting end is threadedly connected to the shower head, and the lower connecting end is threadedly connected to the water supply pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the housing is provided with a switch.

[0010] Preferably, the connection between the input end at the bottom of the hydroelectric generator and the outer casing of the power generation module is sealed.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: By integrating a hydroelectric power generation module inside the showerhead, the showerhead achieves self-powered operation, eliminating the need for an external power source or batteries, thus making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Simultaneously, through the connection to a mobile app via a BLE Bluetooth module, users can view real-time showerhead usage data, such as filter life and water temperature, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the hydroelectric generator not only provides power to the showerhead but also, through metering and display functions, allows users to intuitively understand the product's operating status, enhancing the product's intelligence and practicality.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a hydroelectric shower head, including a housing 1, a water flow channel 12, and a power generation module housing 2. The water flow channel 12 is installed inside the housing 1, and the power generation module housing 2 is installed inside the water flow channel 12. There is a gap between the water flow channel 12 and the power generation module housing 2 for water flow. A hydroelectric generator 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the power generation module housing 2. The input end of the bottom of the hydroelectric generator 3 passes through the power generation module housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the hydroelectric impeller 4. The hydroelectric impeller 4 is placed inside the water flow channel 12. A control board 11 is installed at the top inside the power generation module housing 2. The control board 11 is equipped with a BLE Bluetooth module 9, a rectifier circuit 10, a display drive circuit 13, and a power generation detection circuit 14.

[0016] Specifically, a hydroelectric generator 3 is embedded in the water flow channel 12 of the shower handle, which measures and displays the lifespan of the shower filter and the water temperature. The electricity generated by the hydroelectric generator 3 is input to the control board 11, where it is converted into relevant data by the rectifier circuit 10 and the power generation detection circuit 14, and then displayed, allowing users to intuitively understand the product's operating status and water temperature in real time. It can connect to a mobile app via a BLE Bluetooth module 9, allowing the shower to upload usage data to the app, where users can view statistical data on water consumption and temperature.

[0017] The bottom of the water flow channel 12 is provided with a water inlet 5, which is correspondingly set with the hydroelectric impeller 4.

[0018] Specifically, the design of the inlet 5 allows water to flow smoothly into the water channel 12 and impact the hydroelectric impeller 4, thereby driving the hydroelectric generator 3 to generate electricity. The blades of the hydroelectric impeller 4 are rationally designed to rotate efficiently under the impact of the water flow, thus driving the rotor of the hydroelectric generator 3 to rotate and generate electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is rectified by the rectifier circuit 10 and converted into stable direct current to supply the various circuits on the control board 11.

[0019] A sealing ring 15 is fitted at the connection between the outer shell 1 and the water flow channel 12.

[0020] Specifically, the sealing ring 15 ensures a tight seal between the outer casing 1 and the water flow channel 12, preventing water leakage and ensuring the normal operation of the hydroelectric power generation module. At the same time, the sealing ring 15 also acts as a buffer and shock absorber, extending the service life of the shower head.

[0021] The top of the outer casing 1 is provided with an upper connecting end 8, and the bottom of the outer casing 1 is provided with a lower connecting end 6. The upper connecting end 8 is threadedly connected to the shower head, and the lower connecting end 6 is threadedly connected to the water supply pipe.

[0022] Specifically, the design of the upper connecting end 8 and the lower connecting end 6 allows the hydroelectric shower head of this invention to be easily installed on existing shower systems and water supply pipes without requiring modifications to the original piping system, greatly facilitating user operation. Furthermore, both the upper connecting end 8 and the lower connecting end 6 employ threaded connections, which are not only robust and reliable but also easy to disassemble and install, making it convenient for users to clean and maintain the shower head.

[0023] A switch 7 is provided on the surface of the outer casing 1. The connection between the input terminal at the bottom of the hydroelectric generator 3 and the outer casing 2 of the generator module is sealed to prevent water from entering the outer casing 2 of the generator module from the connection between the input terminal at the bottom of the hydroelectric generator 3 and the outer casing 2 of the generator module.

[0024] In practical use, the user simply turns on switch 7, and water flows through inlet 5 into water channel 12, impacting the hydroelectric impeller 4 and driving the hydroelectric generator 3 to generate electricity. After rectification and processing, the electrical energy is supplied to control board 11, where display drive circuit 13 displays the current power generation status and water temperature in real time. Simultaneously, BLE Bluetooth module 9 wirelessly transmits usage data to the user's mobile app, allowing the user to view and analyze water consumption and temperature statistics at any time, achieving intelligent management.

[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
