Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower equipment technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional shower. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of modern bathroom fixtures, the functionality and aesthetic design of shower units directly impact user experience and space utilization. Currently, most multi-functional shower units on the market employ a horizontally placed valve core and control mechanism, with both typically arranged coaxially. For example, the thermostatic valve core and control knob are usually on the same axis, and the push-button valve core and button are also often coaxial. While this traditional design meets functional requirements to some extent, it also presents significant problems. Due to the coaxial arrangement of the valve core and control mechanism, the overall structure of the shower unit often protrudes considerably from the wall, affecting not only the product's aesthetics but also reducing the utilization of bathroom space, especially noticeable in small bathrooms. Furthermore, the traditional design lacks flexibility in the placement angle of the valve core and control mechanism, limiting the diversity and novelty of product design and failing to meet consumers' demands for personalized and modern bathroom fixtures.

[0003] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a multifunctional shower, including a core valve body, a button valve core, a button switch, and a pressing linkage. The button valve core is disposed on the core valve body. The rear side of the button switch is hinged to the top of the core valve body, and the front side is connected to the pressing head of the button valve core through the pressing linkage. A pressing angle is formed between the axis of the button switch and the axis of the button valve core. The pressing linkage is constructed such that when the pressing angle changes, the pressing linkage can drive the pressing head to control the button valve core.

[0006] As a further optimization, a rotating shaft is provided above the core valve body, and a first hinge lug is provided at the bottom rear side of the push-button switch, with the first hinge lug connected to the rotating shaft.

[0007] As a further optimization, the pressing linkage includes a connecting rod and a pushing block; the pushing block includes a connecting portion coaxially connected to the pressing head, and also includes a hinge portion protruding from one side of the connecting portion; one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the hinge portion, and the other end is hinged to the front side of the push button switch.

[0008] As a further optimization, a second hinge lug is provided on the bottom front side of the push-button switch, and the second hinge lug is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod.

[0009] As a further optimization, it also includes a knob and a bevel gear set, wherein a temperature control valve core is provided on the core valve body, and the bevel gear set is connected and disposed between the temperature control valve core and the knob.

[0010] As a further optimization, at least one button valve core is provided.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: 1. By using a non-coaxial design between the push-button switch and the push-button valve core, and a vertical water circuit, the thickness of the shower protruding from the wall is reduced, and it occupies very little space when installed vertically, thus improving space utilization.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] This utility model provides a multifunctional shower, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, the device includes a core valve body 1, a button valve core 2, a button switch 3, a pressing linkage 4, a rotating shaft 5, a temperature control valve core 6, a knob 7, and a bevel gear set 8. The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] In this embodiment, a water channel is formed inside the core valve body 1, serving as the core component of the entire shower. At least one push-button valve core 2 and one thermostatic valve core 6 are installed on the core valve body 1. This embodiment uses multiple push-button valve cores 2 to control different water output functions, such as showerhead and faucet water output, while the thermostatic valve core 6 is responsible for adjusting the water temperature. The push-button valve cores 2 are arranged in a row to minimize space occupation and improve operational convenience. The internal structure of each push-button valve core 2 includes a valve core housing, a sealing ring, and a spring assembly. The sealing ring is located at the inlet and outlet of the valve core housing to ensure water flow sealing, and the spring assembly is located inside the valve core housing to provide a restoring force, ensuring that the push-button head 10 automatically returns to its initial state after the push-button valve core 2 is released. This is prior art and will not be elaborated further here.

[0019] Preferably, the push-button switch 3 is located above the axis of the push-button valve core 2, and its rear side is connected to the rotating shaft 5 via the first hinge lug 9. The rotating shaft 5 is fixed above the core valve body 1. The rotating shaft 5 can be mounted on the outer shell (not shown in the figure) or on the core valve head. The fit design between the first hinge lug 9 and the rotating shaft 5 ensures that the push-button switch 3 has sufficient stability during rotation, avoiding loosening or displacement caused by external forces.

[0020] Furthermore, the front side of the push button switch 3 is connected to the pressing head 10 of the push button valve core 2 via a pressing link 4. The pressing link 4 includes a connecting rod 11 and a pushing block 12. The pushing block 12 consists of a connecting part 13 and a hinge part 14. In this embodiment, the connecting part 13 is coaxially connected to the pressing head 10 of the push button valve core 2, and the hinge part 14 protrudes from one side of the connecting part 13. One end of the connecting rod 11 is hinged to the hinge part 14, and the other end is hinged to the front side of the push button switch 3. In other embodiments, the hinge part can also be hinged to the connecting rod 11 through a shaft hole and a pin. There are various methods, which will not be elaborated here. Through this linkage transmission structure, the action of the push button switch 3 is transmitted to the pressing head 10 of the push button valve core 2, thereby completing the control of the push button valve core 2.

[0021] Preferably, a second hinge lug 15 is provided on the bottom front side of the push-button switch 3, and the second hinge lug 15 is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 11. With this design, the transmission relationship between the push-button switch 3 and the pressing linkage 4 is more stable, ensuring that the action of the push-button switch 3 can be accurately transmitted to the push-button valve core 2.

[0022] In one embodiment, to securely mount the push block 12 onto the press head 10 of the button valve core 2, this invention also includes a connecting cover 16 and bolts 17. A protrusion 18 is formed radially inwardly protruding from the inner side of the connecting portion 13, and the two sides of the protrusion 18 are constructed as end-plate structures. The press head 10 abuts against one end-plate of the protrusion 18, and the other end-plate abuts against the connecting cover 16. The connecting cover 16 is fixed to the press head 10 by bolts 17. This mounting structure not only ensures a stable connection between the push block 12 and the press head 10, but also facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance. Of course, the push block 12 and the press head 10 can also have other connection methods, which will not be elaborated here.

[0023] Preferably, the temperature control valve core 6 and the knob 7 are connected by a bevel gear set 8. The bevel gear set 8 consists of two meshing bevel gears, one of which is fixed to the output shaft of the temperature control valve core 6, and the other is fixed to the input shaft of the knob 7. Through gear transmission, the axis of the knob 7 and the axis of the temperature control valve core 6 are not parallel, allowing for multiple axial angles. This enables the two gears to be placed arbitrarily according to aesthetic requirements, breaking through the limitations of traditional coaxial designs. The bevel gear set 8 is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the gear surfaces are hardened to enhance fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance. The internal structure of the temperature control valve core 6 includes a temperature sensing element, an regulating valve core, and a limiting device. The temperature sensing element detects changes in water temperature, the regulating valve core adjusts the water flow based on the feedback signal from the temperature sensing element, and the limiting device limits the maximum stroke of the regulating valve core to prevent safety hazards caused by over-adjustment. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further.

[0024] In this embodiment, a pressing angle A is formed between the axes of the push-button switch 3 and the push-button valve core 2. When the push-button switch 3 rotates around the pivot 5, the pressing angle A changes accordingly. The front end of the push-button switch 3 approaches the axis of the push-button valve core 2 and drives the pressing head 10 to move via the pressing linkage 4, thereby realizing the switching action of the push-button valve core 2. The length and angle of the pressing linkage 4 are optimized to adapt to different distances and positional relationships between the push-button switch 3 and the push-button valve core 2. The size of the pressing angle A can be adjusted according to appearance requirements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0025] Compared to ordinary showers on the market, which are mostly placed horizontally, causing the shower to protrude significantly from the wall and affecting the aesthetics of space utilization, if placed vertically, the buttons and valve core of ordinary showers are coaxial and set downwards, making it difficult to apply force when using them.

[0026] Therefore, in this embodiment, in practical applications, the user adjusts the water temperature by rotating the knob 7. The knob 7 transmits the rotational action to the thermostatic valve core 6 through the bevel gear set 8. The thermostatic valve core 6 adjusts the water flow according to the feedback signal from the temperature sensing element, thereby achieving precise water temperature control. Simultaneously, the user can select different water outlet modes by pressing the button switch 3. When the button switch 3 rotates around the rotating shaft 5, the pressing angle A decreases, and the front end of the button switch 3 approaches the axis of the button valve core 2. This, along with the pressing linkage 4, moves the pressing head 10 of the button valve core 2, thereby activating the corresponding water outlet function. Through the above structural design, this utility model achieves a non-coaxial connection between the button switch 3 and the button valve core 2, as well as multiple angles for the thermostatic valve core 6 and the knob 7, breaking through the limitations of traditional coaxial designs. This allows the core valve body 1 to be placed at multiple angles, such as vertically, reducing the portion of the showerhead protruding from the wall and improving space utilization and aesthetics. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4When the shower head is installed vertically on the wall, only the thinnest part of the part protrudes from the wall, greatly reducing the space occupied. At the same time, the upward-sloping button switch 3 provides a comfortable pressing angle for the user.

[0027] In summary, this utility model achieves precise control of the button valve core 2 by using an innovative non-coaxial connection design between the button switch 3 and the button valve core 2, combined with the transmission structure of the pressing rod 4 and the push block 12. Simultaneously, the bevel gear set 8 between the temperature control valve core 6 and the knob 7 allows them to be placed at various angles, breaking through the limitations of traditional coaxial designs. The overall design not only improves the space utilization and aesthetics of the shower, but also enhances the product's diversity and novelty, demonstrating significant technological advancement and practical value.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
