Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, specifically to a water distribution component and a shower arm. Background Technology
[0002] Outrigger showers are mostly used with pre-embedded pipes. The outrigger connects to the outlet end of the pre-embedded pipe and is fixed to the wall, thus suspending the water outlet devices such as the overhead shower on the wall. The structure of most existing outrigger showers is similar to the water distribution component and shower disclosed in Chinese patent CN216407807U. This water distribution component includes an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and a switching valve. The inlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the switching valve, and the water outlet is switched by pushing and pulling the switching valve, thus controlling the water output of the shower head and the overhead shower. In this type of solution, only one of the shower head and the overhead shower can output water at a time, and it is not easy to intuitively determine the current water output mode, making it inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model discloses a water distribution component, which aims to improve the problem of the single water outlet mode and inconvenience for users of the existing support arm shower.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution: A water distribution assembly includes an inlet pipe and a main body. The inlet pipe is connected to a pre-embedded pipe and used to fix it to a wall. The main body has an inlet channel and at least two outlet chambers communicating with the inlet channel. The outer periphery of the main body has an inlet communicating with the inlet channel and an outlet corresponding to each of the outlet chambers. The inlet is used to connect to the outlet end of the inlet pipe, and the outlet is used to connect to a water outlet device. Each outlet chamber is equipped with a water distribution valve. By pressing or rotating the handle connected to the water distribution valve, the connection between the outlet and the inlet of the corresponding outlet chamber can be controlled.
[0005] As a further improvement, the right side of the main body is fitted with a socket having a hole for inserting a shower head handle.
[0006] As a further improvement, the socket is rotatably mounted on the main body to adjust the water flow angle of the shower head.
[0007] As a further improvement, the outer peripheral surface of the socket is flush with the outer peripheral surface of the main body.
[0008] As a further improvement, the handles of each of the water distribution valves are disposed on the front of the main body and are arranged at intervals along the length of the main body.
[0009] As a further improvement, the water inlet is inclined upward along the back of the main body, and a first water outlet is provided on the top surface of the main body for connection with the overhead spray, and a second water outlet is provided on the bottom surface of the main body for connection with the shower head.
[0010] As a further improvement, the first water outlet is threadedly connected to the overhead spray pipe, and the second water outlet is connected to the shower head via a hose.
[0011] As a further improvement, the axis of the top spray outlet pipe and the axis of the inlet pipe are arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the main body.
[0012] As a further improvement, the water inlet channel extends along the length of the main body, and each of the water outlet chambers is arranged at intervals along the length of the main body, with a water inlet on the side near the water inlet channel, and a water outlet communicating with the water outlet on the side wall of each of the water outlet chambers.
[0013] Another option is a boom shower, including an overhead shower, a shower head, and a water distribution assembly as described in any of the preceding options, wherein the main body is provided with a first water outlet for connection to the overhead shower and a second water outlet for connection to the shower head.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: 1. In this application, the on / off state of each water outlet and inlet is individually controlled by a corresponding diverter valve. This allows for water output from a single outlet or multiple outlets simultaneously, enriching the water output modes to meet the needs of different users and enhance the showering experience. Furthermore, water output control is more intuitive and convenient. Users can directly control the corresponding outlet by pressing or rotating the diverter valve handle. For example, pressing the handle of the first diverter valve is needed for the overhead shower, and pressing the handle of the second diverter valve is needed for the head shower. Since the on / off state of each outlet is controlled independently by different diverter valves, they are not interconnected. This allows users to better determine the current water output mode when the water is off, enabling them to directly access the desired mode after turning on the water, thus facilitating user operation.
[0015] 2. A rotatable socket is connected to the right side of the main body, which simplifies the structure and makes it easy to adjust the water outlet angle of the shower head when it is hung up.
[0016] 3. The handles of each water distribution valve are located on the front of the main body and are spaced apart along the length of the main body so that users can operate from the front, which is ergonomic. The spacing between the handles can prevent accidental operation. Attached Figure Description

The terms “first,” “second,” etc., are only used to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or the quantity, specific order, or primary or secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. The term “several” means one or more, and “multiple” means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Example
[0022] Combination Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a water distribution component, including an inlet pipe 1 and a main body 2. The inlet pipe 1 is connected to a pre-embedded pipe and used to fix it to the wall. The main body 2 has an inlet channel 21 and at least two outlet chambers 22 connected to the inlet channel 21. The outer periphery of the main body 2 has an inlet port 211 connected to the inlet channel 21 and an outlet port connected to each outlet chamber 22. The inlet port 211 is used to connect to the outlet end of the inlet pipe 1, and the outlet port is used to connect to the water outlet device. Each outlet chamber 22 is equipped with a water distribution valve. By pressing or rotating the handle connected to the water distribution valve, the connection and disconnection between the outlet port and the inlet port 211 of the corresponding outlet chamber 22 can be controlled.
[0023] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the on / off state of each water outlet and inlet 211 is individually controlled by a corresponding water distribution valve. This allows for water output from a single water outlet or multiple water outlets simultaneously, thereby enriching the water output modes to meet the needs of different users and improve the showering experience. Furthermore, the water output control is more intuitive and convenient. Users can directly control the water output of the corresponding water outlet by pressing or rotating the handle of the water distribution valve. For example, to output water from the overhead shower 4, press the handle of the first water distribution valve 23; to output water from the shower head 5, press the handle of the second water distribution valve 24. The water distribution valve can be a ceramic on / off valve, the structure of which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The opening and closing of each water outlet is controlled independently by different water distribution valves, without any interrelation. This allows users to better determine the current water output mode when the water is off, enabling them to directly enter the desired water output mode after turning on the water, thus facilitating user operation.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a socket 3 is fitted on the right side of the main body 2. This socket 3 has a insertion hole 31 for inserting the handle of the shower head 5, allowing the shower head 5 to be hung on the main body 2, reducing the number of sockets and simplifying the structure. Furthermore, the socket 3 is rotatably mounted on the main body 2 to adjust the water flow angle of the shower head 5, enabling the shower head 5 to adjust its flow angle even when hung, facilitating user operation. For example, the socket 3 may have a mounting hole that fits onto a mounting post 25 of the main body 2. The mounting post 25 may have a screw 251 for clamping a washer 252. The washer 252 is larger than the mounting hole, allowing the socket 3 to be axially positioned along the mounting post 25 and to rotate around it. This is not a specific limitation.
[0025] In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the socket 3 is flush with the outer periphery of the main body 2, making the overall appearance simpler and enhancing the aesthetics.
[0026] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the handles of each water distribution valve are arranged on the front of the main body 2 and spaced apart along the length of the main body 2. The length of the main body 2 is preferably horizontal, to facilitate operation from the front and conform to ergonomics. The spaced arrangement of the handles helps prevent accidental operation. Specifically, the water inlet channel 21 extends along the length of the main body 2, and each water outlet chamber 22 is spaced apart along the length of the main body 2. A water inlet 221 is provided on the side near the water inlet channel 21, and a water outlet 222 communicating with the water outlet is provided on the side wall of each water outlet chamber 22. When the water distribution valve in the water outlet chamber 22 is opened, the water inlet 221 and the water outlet 222 are connected. Water flows from the water inlet pipe 1 into the water inlet channel 21, then from the water inlet 221 to the water outlet 222, then from the water outlet 222 into the water outlet, and finally flows out from the water outlet device communicating with the water outlet.
[0027] In another embodiment, the water inlet 211 is inclined upward along the back of the main body 2, and a first water outlet 26 for connection with the top spray 4 is provided on the top surface of the main body 2, while a second water outlet 27 for connection with the shower head 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the main body 2. The water inlet 211, the first water outlet 26, and the second water outlet 27 are located on different surfaces of the main body 2 to make the structure more compact and facilitate the installation of the water outlet device. The first water outlet 26 is threaded to the top spray water outlet pipe 41, and the second water outlet 27 is connected to the shower head 5 via a hose 51. The threaded connection is simple to install and remove, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the water outlet device. In an optional embodiment, the axis of the top spray water outlet pipe 41 and the axis of the water inlet pipe 1 are arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the main body 2, further enhancing the aesthetics and avoiding a cluttered appearance of the pipes on the main body 2.
[0028] This utility model also provides a support arm shower, including an overhead shower 4, a shower head 5, and a water distribution assembly as described in any of the above embodiments. The main body 2 is provided with a first water outlet 26 for connection to the overhead shower 4 and a second water outlet 27 for connection to the shower head 5. For example, the first water outlet 26 communicates with a first water outlet chamber, which is equipped with a first water distribution valve 23. Pressing a first handle 231 connected to the first water distribution valve 23 controls the connection between the overhead shower 4 and the water inlet channel 21. The second water outlet 27 communicates with a second water outlet chamber, which is equipped with a second water distribution valve 24. Pressing a second handle 241 connected to the second water distribution valve 24 controls the connection between the shower head 5 and the water inlet channel 21.
[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
