[0024] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the first horizontal direction is the direction indicated by d1 in the figure, the height direction is the direction indicated by d2 in the figure, and the thickness direction of the wall 10' is the direction indicated by d3 in the figure, wherein the first horizontal direction, the height direction and the thickness direction of the wall 10' are perpendicular to each other.

[0025] This application provides a shower system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shower system is designed for installation on a wall 10'.

[0026] This shower system is suitable for installation on at least 10' of the wall in a bathroom of an American-style house.

[0027] It should be noted that in the bathroom of an American-style house, a portion of the mixing structure 40' is embedded inside the wall 10'. Another portion of the mixing structure 40' is exposed on the outside of the wall 10'. The mixing structure 40' has a mixing inlet and a mixing outlet 50'. The mixing inlet is used to input cold and hot water, that is, there are at least two mixing inlets. The mixing outlet is used to output water after the cold and hot water are mixed.

[0028] For example, the mixing structure 40' includes a mixing valve body 41' and a mixing valve core 42'. The mixing valve body 41' is located inside the wall 10' and has a mixing inlet and an outlet 41a'. The mixing inlet is used to connect to the hot water pipe 20' and the cold water pipe 30'. Hot water and cold water enter the mixing valve body, mix, and then flow out through the outlet.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mixing outlet 50' is formed on the wall surface of the wall 10'. In this embodiment, the mixing structure 40' also includes a water outlet channel 43', which connects the outlet 41a' and the mixing outlet 50', and the water outlet channel 43' is located inside the wall 10'.

[0030] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, outlet 41a' and mixing outlet 50' are located in the same position. In this embodiment, mixing outlet 50' is located inside wall 10'.

[0031] Specifically, the shower system includes at least two sets of nozzle assemblies, a housing assembly 30, a water inlet channel 70, a first operating element 40, a second operating element 51, and a water distribution assembly 52.

[0032] It is understandable that "at least two nozzle assemblies" means that the number of nozzle assemblies can be two, three or more.

[0033] This application will describe an embodiment with two nozzle assemblies. For ease of description, the two nozzle assemblies will be named the first nozzle assembly 10 and the second nozzle assembly.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 1 As shown, the housing assembly 30 is used for mounting to the wall 10'. It is understood that the housing assembly 30 can be partially embedded inside the wall 10' or can protrude entirely from the wall surface of the wall 10', and this is not limited here.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water inlet channel 70 connects the mixing outlet 50' and the housing assembly 30, and is used to guide the mixed water into the housing assembly 30. Please continue reading. Figure 3 The housing assembly 30 has an installation channel 30a. The installation channel 30a is used to assemble with the part of the mixing structure 40' exposed outside the wall 10'. A first operating member 40 is provided on the housing assembly 30. The first operating member 40 is used to connect with the mixing structure 40' and to drive the mixing structure 40' to move under the action of external force, so as to adjust the mixing ratio of hot water and cold water.

[0036] For example, the first operating element 40 is connected to the mixing valve core 42' of the mixing structure 40'.

[0037] It is understandable that adjusting the mixing ratio of hot and cold water includes both the case where at least one of the hot water pipe 20' and the cold water pipe 30' supplies water to the mixing structure 40', and the case where neither the hot water pipe 20' nor the cold water pipe 30' supplies water to the mixing structure 40'. In other words, the first operating element 40, by driving the mixing valve core of the mixing structure 40', can control both the water temperature and the opening and closing of the shower system. That is, by operating the first operating element 40, the functions of opening and closing the shower system and adjusting the water temperature are achieved.

[0038] The housing assembly 30 has at least two water outlets, with each nozzle assembly connected to one water outlet. In other words, the number of water outlets is the same as the number of nozzle assemblies.

[0039] In an embodiment where there are two water spray components, for ease of description, the two water outlets are named the first water outlet 331b and the second water outlet 332a.

[0040] That is, the first water outlet 331b is connected to the first nozzle assembly 10, and the second water outlet 332a is connected to the second nozzle assembly. In other words, the mixed water guided by the water inlet channel 70 into the housing assembly 30 will eventually be discharged to the first nozzle assembly 10 or the second nozzle assembly.

[0041] like Figure 6As shown, the water distribution component 52 is located inside the housing assembly 30. The second operating member 51 is connected to the water distribution component 52 and is used to drive the water distribution component 52 to move under the action of external force, so that the water distribution component 52 guides the mixed water flowing into the housing assembly 30 to one of the outlets, namely the first outlet 331b or the second outlet 332a, thereby realizing the water outlet from the first shower head assembly 10 or the second shower head assembly. That is, by operating the second operating member 51, the water distribution function of the shower system is realized.

[0042] It is understandable that during the movement of the water distribution component 52 driven by the second operating component 51, if the water distribution component 52 is not fully in place, the mixed water in the box component 30 will flow to the first outlet 331b and the second outlet 332a at the same time. At this time, the first nozzle component 10 and the second nozzle component will spray water at the same time.

[0043] The shower system provided in this embodiment offers space within the housing assembly 30 to accommodate the portion of the hybrid structure 40' exposed on the wall 10', the first operating member 40, the water distribution assembly 52, and the second operating member 51. This allows the first and second operating members 40 and 51 to be integrated into the housing assembly 30, enabling the operation of the shower system's opening and closing, water temperature adjustment, and water distribution functions to be integrated into the housing assembly 30. This eliminates the need for operation outside the housing assembly 30, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the integration of the hybrid structure 40' and the water distribution assembly 52 into the housing assembly 30 enhances the shower system's overall integration and aesthetics.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first shower head assembly 10 includes a first shower pipe 12 and a first shower head. The first shower pipe 12 connects the first water outlet 331b and the first shower head. The first shower pipe 12 is used to fix to the wall 10'.

[0045] For example, the second shower head assembly includes a second shower pipe and a second shower head, the second shower pipe being connected to a second water outlet 332a and the second shower head.

[0046] It is understood that the structure of the first and second spray heads is not limited; for example, the first spray head can be an overhead spray and the second spray head can be a shower head. The following description will use an example where the first spray head is an overhead spray and the second spray head is a shower head.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 1As shown, the shower system includes a connector 80, through which the second shower pipe is connected to the first shower pipe 12. This ensures that the first shower pipe 12 and the second shower pipe are not too far apart, reducing the visual disorganization of the shower system. Furthermore, the second shower pipe does not need to be directly connected to the wall 10', reducing the need for manual operation of the wall 10'.

[0048] For example, the second shower pipe is detachably connected to the connector 80, so that the second shower pipe can be removed at any time during the use of the shower system.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the housing assembly 30 includes a housing 32 and an annular water guiding structure 33 disposed within the housing 32. The annular water guiding structure 33 is arranged around the outer periphery of the first operating member 40, and the interior of the annular water guiding structure 33 forms a water flow channel for the flow of mixed water, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the annular water guiding structure 33 has at least two joints, the internal space of each joint forms a water outlet, and each joint is connected to a nozzle assembly.

[0050] For ease of description, in an embodiment where there are two nozzle assemblies, the two connectors are named first connector 331 and second connector 332, respectively. The first outlet 331b is formed in the internal space of the first connector 331, and the second outlet 332a is formed in the internal space of the second connector 332.

[0051] The annular water guiding structure 33 is connected to the water inlet channel 70 and the water distribution component 52 respectively, and is used to guide the mixed water to the corresponding water outlet based on the operation of the second operating component 51, that is, to the first water outlet 331b or the second water outlet 332a.

[0052] In this embodiment, the annular water guiding structure 33 forms a clearance from the first operating member 40, which facilitates the integration of the first operating member 40 and the second operating member 51 into the box assembly 30.

[0053] For example, at least two connectors extend to the outside of the housing 32.

[0054] That is, the first connector 331 extends to the outside of the box body 32, and the second connector 332 extends to the outside of the box body 32.

[0055] Since the first connector 331 and the second connector 332 extend to the outside of the housing 32, during the installation of the shower system, neither the first nozzle assembly 10 nor the second nozzle assembly needs to extend into the inside of the housing assembly 30. The first nozzle assembly 10 and the second nozzle assembly have little impact on the installation of the housing assembly 30. For example, the housing assembly 30 can be installed on the wall 10' first, and then the first nozzle assembly 10 can be connected to the first connector 331, and the second nozzle assembly can be connected to the second connector 332.

[0056] For example, the first connector 331 is detachably connected to the first nozzle assembly 10, and the second connector 332 is detachably connected to the second nozzle assembly, which also facilitates the repair or replacement of the housing assembly 30, the first nozzle assembly 10 and the second nozzle assembly respectively.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment where the mixing outlet 50' is formed on the wall surface of the wall 10', the internal space of the first connector 331 includes a non-communicating inlet 331a and a first outlet 331b. The first shower head assembly 10 has an inlet interface for connecting to the mixing outlet 50'. An inlet channel 70 is formed inside the first shower head assembly 10 and connects the inlet interface and the inlet 331a. In this embodiment, the inlet channel 70 can be integrated into the first shower head assembly 10, which helps to improve the integration of the shower system. The mixed water flowing out of the mixing outlet 50' flows through the inlet channel 70 to the inlet 331a, and then through the inlet 331a to the water flow channel inside the annular water guiding structure 33.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, the first shower pipe 12 includes an outer pipe 121 and an inner pipe 122 disposed within the outer pipe 121. At least a portion of the space between the inner wall of the outer pipe 121 and the outer wall of the inner pipe 122 defines a water inlet channel 70. The internal space of the inner pipe 122 communicates with the first water outlet 331b and the first shower head.

[0059] In this embodiment, the outer pipe 121 and the inner pipe 122 form a sleeve, allowing the water inlet channel 70 to be integrated into the first nozzle assembly 10. This eliminates the need for two separate pipes, which helps improve the integration of the shower system. Furthermore, the inner pipe 122 does not need to be directly connected to the wall 10', reducing the need for operations on the wall 10'. When installing the shower system, only the outer pipe 121 needs to be fixed to the wall 10', which helps improve the installation efficiency of the shower system.

[0060] For example, the water inlet is formed on the side wall of the outer tube 121, one end of the outer tube 121 is connected to the water inlet 331a, and the inner tube 122 is connected to the first water outlet 331b and the first nozzle.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, in an embodiment where the mixing outlet 50' is formed inside the wall 10', the water inlet channel 70 passes through the installation channel 30a and is connected to the annular water guiding structure 33.

[0062] In this embodiment, the water inlet can be formed on the side of the annular water guiding structure 33 facing the wall 10'.

[0063] For example, the shower system includes an inlet pipe for defining an inlet channel 70, the inlet pipe connecting the outlet 41a' and the inlet of the mixing structure 40'.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the shower system includes a third operating component 61 and a flow control component 62. The flow control component 62 is located inside the housing assembly 30. The third operating component 61 is connected to the flow control component 62 and is used to drive the flow control component 62 to move under the action of external force, so as to control the flow rate of the mixed water flowing through the housing assembly 30. That is, the flow control function is realized by operating the third operating component 61.

[0065] In this embodiment, the third operating component 61 is also integrated into the housing assembly 30, so that the operation of the flow control function is also integrated into the housing assembly 30, further improving the user operating experience. Moreover, the flow control component 62 is installed inside the housing assembly 30, further improving the integration of the shower system.

[0066] For example, the flow control component 62 is located upstream of the water distribution component 52 along the water flow direction. In this way, the flow control component 62 controls the flow rate of the mixed water before it flows to the water distribution component 52, reducing the impact of the water distribution operation of the water distribution component 52 on the flow rate of the mixed water.

[0067] In some embodiments, the annular water guiding structure 33 includes a first sub-segment 333, a second sub-segment 334, a third sub-segment 335, and a fourth sub-segment 336. The first sub-segment 333 connects the water inlet channel 70 and the flow control component 62. The second sub-segment 334 connects the water distribution component 52 and the water distribution component 52. The third sub-segment 335 connects the water distribution component 52 and the first outlet 331b. The fourth sub-segment 336 connects the water distribution component 52 and the second outlet 332a.

[0068] In other words, the first sub-segment 333, the second sub-segment 334, the third sub-segment 335, and the fourth sub-segment 336 together enclose the water flow channel of the annular water guiding structure 33.

[0069] For example, the water distribution assembly 52 includes a first valve body 521 and a first valve core 522 disposed inside the first valve body 521. A second operating member 51 is connected to the first valve core 522, and by driving the first valve core 522 to move, controls the flow of mixed water inside the first valve body 521 to the first outlet 331b or the second outlet 332a. The second sub-section 334, the third sub-section 335 and the fourth sub-section 336 are all connected to the first valve body 521.

[0070] For example, the flow control component 62 includes a second valve body 621 and a second valve core 622 disposed inside the second valve body 621. A third operating member 61 is connected to the second valve core 622 and controls the flow direction of the mixed water in the second valve body 621 to the second sub-segment 334 by driving the second valve core 622 to move. The first sub-segment 333 and the second sub-segment are both connected to the second valve body 621.

[0071] For example, at least two connectors, such as the first connector 331 and the second connector 332, are located on both sides of the housing 32 along the height direction, and the water distribution assembly 52 and the flow control assembly 62 are located on both sides of the housing 32 along a first horizontal direction, which is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall 10'. In this way, the first connector 331, the second connector 332, the water distribution assembly 52, and the flow control assembly 62 are all integrated into the housing assembly 30, and the first connector 331, the second connector 332, the water distribution assembly 52, and the flow control assembly 62 are located around the first operating member 40, which helps to make the structure compact.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the box body 32 includes a top wall portion 322 and a bottom wall portion 323 arranged at intervals along the height direction. A first connector 331 extends to the outside of the top wall portion 322, and a second connector 332 extends to the outside of the bottom wall portion 323.

[0073] In the embodiment where the first nozzle is an overhead spray, the first shower pipe 12 is used to fix to the wall 10'. Since the first connector 331 extends to the outside of the top wall portion 322, it helps to reduce the size of the first shower pipe 12. Moreover, the first shower pipe 12 can extend directly upward from the top wall portion 322, which helps to increase the aesthetic appearance of the shower system.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a portion of the structure of the fourth sub-segment 336 and a portion of the structure of the second sub-segment 334 are stacked along the thickness direction of the wall 10'. This makes the annular water guiding structure 33 compact, which helps to reduce the space occupied inside the box 32, thereby helping to reduce the overall volume of the box assembly 30.

[0075] It is understandable that the fourth sub-segment 336 and the second sub-segment 334 are not connected in the overlapping area.

[0076] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The shower enclosure 32 includes two sidewall portions 321 spaced apart along a first horizontal direction. A second operating member 51 and a third operating member 61 are partially exposed in each of the two sidewall portions 321. The first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall 10'. This design prevents interference between the second operating member 51 and the third operating member 61 and helps increase the symmetry of the shower system, thereby enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the shower enclosure assembly 30 includes a enclosure 32 and a cover 31. The enclosure 32 is connected to the wall 10', and the cover 31 is detachable from the enclosure 32. The cover 31 is at least partially located on the side of the enclosure 32 facing away from the wall 10'. In this embodiment, the enclosure 32 provides installation space for at least the water distribution assembly 52, the flow control assembly 62, and the annular water guiding structure 33. The cover 31 serves to shield the enclosure 32, at least concealing the connection structure between the enclosure 32 and the wall 10', thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the shower system.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first operating element 40 is partially exposed outside the cover 31. This facilitates operation of the first operating element 40 by the user.

[0079] In embodiments where the second operating member 51 and the third operating member 61 are respectively partially exposed in the two sidewall portions 321, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first operating component 40, the second operating component 51, and the third operating component 61 are exposed on different sides of the housing assembly 30. During the use of the shower system, reducing the mutual interference of the three operating components helps to reduce the chance of accidental contact.

[0080] In some embodiments, the housing 32 includes a bottom shell 324 and a cover 325. The bottom shell 324 has an opening along the thickness direction of the wall 10' and on the side opposite to the wall 10', and the cover 325 covers the opening. In this embodiment, the bottom shell 324 has the aforementioned installation space inside. During the assembly of the shower system, the annular water guiding structure 33, the water distribution component 52, the flow control component 62, the first operating component 40, and the second operating component 51 can be first installed onto the bottom shell 324 through the opening, and then the cover 325 is used to cover the opening.

[0081] Exemplarily, the cover 325 includes an interconnected cover portion 3251 and an annular portion 3252, the annular portion 3252 being disposed on the side of the cover portion 3251 facing the bottom shell 324, and defining a portion of the mounting channel 30a. The annular portion 3252 reduces the interaction between the first operating member 40, the hybrid structure 40', and other components within the housing assembly 30.

[0082] In this embodiment, the annular water guiding structure 33 is located on the outer periphery of the annular portion 3252.

[0083] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
