Description

A shower head Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, in particular to a shower head. Background Art

[0002] To switch the spray pattern, existing showerheads typically incorporate multiple functional components within the showerhead's outlet. By changing the position of these components, the water paths are switched, creating different spray patterns. However, each time a showerhead switches its water path, it can only produce one type of spray at a time. Furthermore, to create more spray patterns, the functional components become more complex, increasing the overall space required and impacting the user experience. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the drain holes of existing showerheads can easily become clogged, requiring disassembly and cleaning. This large number of functional components makes disassembly and assembly difficult, further complicating cleaning the water holes. Technical issues

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a shower head which reduces the difficulty of cleaning the drainage hole while enriching the water discharge function. Technical Solutions

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A shower head includes a water outlet body and a water outlet assembly;

[0006] The water outlet body includes at least one water outlet surface and at least two water outlet holes provided on the water outlet surface;

[0007] The water outlet assembly is reversibly installed in the water outlet hole, and different water outlet holes are located on the same water outlet surface or on different water outlet surfaces;

[0008] The water outlet component installed in each water outlet hole is one of the first water outlet component, the second water outlet component or the third water outlet component. The first water outlet component has a first water flow surface and a second water flow surface that can be communicated with the water outlet hole, and different water sprays can be discharged through the first water flow surface and the second water flow surface. The second water outlet component has two third water flow surfaces that can be communicated with the water outlet hole, and the same water spray can be discharged through the two third water flow surfaces. The third water outlet component has a water stop surface and a fourth water flow surface that can be communicated with the water outlet hole. Beneficial effects

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention provides at least two water outlet assemblies with different or identical structures on the water outlet surface of the shower head, and since the first water outlet assembly, the second water outlet assembly and the third water outlet assembly are all flippably connected to the water outlet body, the water flow surface can be switched, thereby causing the shape of the water spray discharged from each water outlet hole of the shower head to change and enabling the drainage hole to be cleaned after the first water outlet assembly, the second water outlet assembly and the third water outlet assembly are flipped over, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the drainage hole.

[0028] To illustrate the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is given in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12. A shower head includes a water outlet body 1 and a water outlet assembly; the water outlet body 1 includes at least one water outlet surface 11 and at least two water outlet holes 12 provided on the water outlet surface 11; the water outlet assembly can be flipped and installed in the water outlet hole 12, and different water outlet holes 12 are located on the same water outlet surface 11 or on different water outlet surfaces 11; the water outlet assembly installed in each water outlet hole 12 is one of the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3 or the third water outlet assembly 4, the first water outlet assembly 2 has a first water flow surface 21 and a second water flow surface 22 capable of communicating with the water outlet hole 12, and different water sprays can be discharged through the first water flow surface 21 and the second water flow surface 22, the second water outlet assembly 3 has two third water flow surfaces 31 capable of communicating with the water outlet hole 12, and the same water spray can be discharged through the two third water flow surfaces 31, and the third water outlet assembly 4 has a water stop surface 41 and a fourth water flow surface 42 capable of communicating with the water outlet hole 12. In different embodiments, only one water outlet surface 11 may be provided, or multiple water outlet surfaces 11 may be provided. When multiple water outlet surfaces 11 are provided, they may be provided on any surface of the water outlet body 1 in the thickness direction, width direction or length direction, and a corresponding water outlet hole 12 may be provided on each water outlet surface 11.

[0030] It is understood that the present invention provides at least two water outlet assemblies with different or identical structures on the water outlet surface 11 of the shower head, and because the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are all reversibly connected to the water outlet body 1, the water flow surface can be switched, thereby changing the shape of the water spray discharged from each water outlet 12 of the shower head and enabling the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 to be turned over and cleaned, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the drain holes. Specifically, when the water stop surface 41 of the third water outlet assembly 4 blocks the corresponding water outlet 12, the water pressure and flow rate flowing out of the other water outlets 12 will increase. Therefore, the provision of the third water outlet assembly 4 can play a role in regulating the flow rate and water pressure.

[0031] In some embodiments, a ball socket 13 is provided within the water outlet 12, and the circumferential sidewalls of the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are also partially spherical, so that the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are rotatably embedded in the corresponding ball sockets 13. Specifically, a water inlet hole 43 is provided on the circumferential sidewall of the third water outlet assembly 4, which communicates with the fourth water flow surface 42, and the water inlet hole 43 is centered in the axial direction of the third water outlet assembly 4.

[0032] In some embodiments, a sealing ring 5 is provided on the inner wall of the water outlet 12, and the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are pressed against the corresponding sealing ring 5. The sealing ring 5 is provided to seal between the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 and the inner wall of the corresponding water outlet 12, ensuring that water flows through the corresponding water outlet assembly before being discharged. Taking the first water outlet assembly 2 as an example, the position where the sealing ring 5 presses against the first water outlet assembly 2 deviates from the axial centerline of the first water outlet assembly 2 and is located on the side of the centerline close to the water outlet surface 11 to prevent the first water outlet assembly 2 from falling out of the water outlet 12. Correspondingly, the pressing position of the third water outlet component 4 and the sealing ring 5 is set away from the water inlet hole 43. When the fourth water pass surface 42 serves as the water outlet side, the water flows through the water inlet hole 43 and the fourth water pass surface 42 and is then discharged. When the fourth water pass surface 42 serves as the water inlet side, the water flows from the water inlet hole 43 and the fourth water pass surface 42 into the third water outlet component 4 and is blocked by the water stop surface 41. The water cannot be discharged from the third water outlet component 4. At this time, the water will be discharged from other water outlet holes 12, and the water pressure and flow rate will increase.

[0033] In some embodiments, all water outlet holes 12 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the water outlet body 1. In the direction of water flow inside the shower, different water outlet holes 12 are respectively located upstream or downstream of another water outlet hole 12. Specifically, the length direction of the water outlet surface 11 coincides with the length direction of the water outlet body 1, so that all water outlet holes 12 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the water outlet surface 11, so that the water outlet area of ​​the shower is more in line with the user's actual usage habits.

[0034] In some embodiments, two water outlet holes 12 are provided.

[0035] In some embodiments, all water outlets 12 are embedded with the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, or the third water outlet assembly 4. Specifically, two water outlet holes 12 may be embedded with the same water outlet assembly, or different water outlet assemblies may be embedded in the two water outlet holes 12, such as the first water outlet assembly 2 and the second water outlet assembly, the second water outlet assembly 3 and the third water outlet assembly 4, or the first water outlet assembly 2 and the third water outlet assembly 4. The combination of different water outlet assemblies can enrich the water flow state of the shower head, so that different areas of the shower head produce different water sprays, meet the different needs of users, and improve the user experience.

[0036] In some embodiments, three or four water outlet holes 12 are provided, and different water outlet holes 12 are installed with the same water outlet component or different water outlet components.

[0037] In some embodiments, preferably, three water outlet holes 12 are provided, and the three water outlet holes 12 are located on the same straight line and are arranged at equal intervals to maximize the area of ​​the water outlet surface 11 .

[0038] In some embodiments, the three water outlet holes 12 are staggered in the length direction of the water outlet body 1 to expand the spraying range.

[0039] In some embodiments, at least two of the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are respectively embedded in corresponding water outlet holes 12. Specifically, one solution is to have three water outlet holes 12, wherein two of the water outlet holes 12 are embedded with the first water outlet assembly 2, and the other water outlet hole 12 is embedded with the second water outlet assembly 3 or the third water outlet assembly 4, and the second water outlet assembly 3 or the third water outlet assembly 4 is located between the two first water outlet assemblies 2; another solution is to have three water outlet holes 12, wherein two of the water outlet holes 12 are embedded with the second water outlet assembly 3, and the other water outlet hole 12 is embedded with the first water outlet assembly 2 or the third water outlet assembly 4; in addition to these, other combinations are also possible.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3 and the third water outlet assembly 4 are respectively embedded in the corresponding water outlet holes 12, so that the three water outlet holes 12 can form completely different water splashes, and due to the setting of the third water outlet assembly 4, the shower head also has a flow control function.

[0041] In some embodiments, the water outlet 12 is integrally formed on the water outlet body 1 or the water outlet 12 is arranged on the water outlet part, and the water outlet part is detachably installed on the through hole of the water outlet body 1, and the first water outlet component 2, the second water outlet component 3 and the third water outlet component 4 are detachably connected to the corresponding water outlet hole 12 or the water outlet part 23.

[0042] In some embodiments, the water outlet member 23 is threadedly connected to the corresponding water outlet hole 12. Specifically, taking the first water outlet assembly 2 as an example, the first water outlet assembly 2 includes the water outlet member 23 and a water flow panel 24. The water flow panel 24 and the water outlet member 23 are relatively reversibly connected, and the water outlet member 23 is threadedly connected to the water outlet hole 12.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are inserted into the corresponding water outlet hole 12 or water outlet member 23, or when they are pulled out from the corresponding water outlet hole 12 or water outlet member 23, the water outlet hole 12 can be deformed. Specifically, taking the first water outlet assembly 2 as an example, the water outlet hole 12 is provided with two symmetrically arranged notches 14 at one end on the water outlet surface 11. The first water outlet assembly 2 is rotated so that the first water outlet assembly 2 is radially opposite to the notches 14, and the axial end face of the first water outlet assembly 2 is perpendicular to the water outlet surface 11, so that the first water outlet assembly 2 can be pulled out of or inserted into the notches 14. During this process, the inner wall of the water outlet hole 12 will deform, so that the first water outlet assembly 2 can be inserted and the first water outlet assembly 2 can be ensured to be confined within the water outlet hole 12.

[0044] In some embodiments, the water outlet portion of the water outlet body 1 may be flat or arc-shaped.

[0045] In some embodiments, a clearance groove 121 is opened around the periphery of the water outlet hole 12; the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3 and the third water outlet assembly 4 are installed into the corresponding water outlet hole 12 or water outlet part 23 through the clearance groove 121, or taken out from the corresponding water outlet hole 12 or water outlet part 23.

[0046] In some embodiments, the length of the shower head is 180-280 mm, the width of the shower head is less than 50% of the length of the shower head, and the width of the shower head is less than 60 mm.

[0047] 1 to 4 , the first embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0048] A showerhead includes a water outlet body 1 and a first water outlet assembly 2, a second water outlet assembly 3, and a third water outlet assembly 4 that can be reversibly connected to the water outlet body 1. The water outlet body 1 has a water outlet surface 11, which is provided with three water outlet holes 12. All water outlet holes 12 are arranged in sequence along the length of the water outlet body 1. Each water outlet hole 12 is respectively embedded with a first water outlet assembly 2. The first water outlet assembly 2 has a first water flow surface 21 and a second water flow surface 22 that can communicate with the water outlet hole 12. The second water outlet assembly 3 has two third water flow surfaces 31 that can communicate with the water outlet hole 12. The third water outlet assembly 4 has a water stop surface 41 and a fourth water flow surface 42 that can communicate with the water outlet hole 12. In other equivalent embodiments, each water outlet hole 12 can be embedded with the second water outlet assembly 3 or the third water outlet assembly 4. The water outlet hole 12 is integrally formed on the water outlet body 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 5 is provided on the inner wall of each water outlet hole 12 , and the first water outlet assembly 2 , the second water outlet assembly 3 and the third water outlet assembly 4 are pressed against the corresponding sealing ring 5 .

[0050] In this embodiment, when the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are inserted into the corresponding water outlet holes 12, the water outlet holes 12 can be deformed. Specifically, taking the first water outlet assembly 2 as an example, the water outlet hole 12 is provided with two symmetrically arranged notches 14 at one end located on the water outlet surface 11. The first water outlet assembly 2 is rotated so that the first water outlet assembly 2 is radially opposite to the notches 14, and the axial end face of the first water outlet assembly 2 is perpendicular to the water outlet surface 11, so that the first water outlet assembly 2 can be pulled out of or inserted into the notches 14. During this process, the inner wall of the water outlet hole 12 will deform, so that the first water outlet assembly 2 can be inserted and the first water outlet assembly 2 can be confined within the water outlet hole 12. Among them, the second water outlet assembly 3 and the third water outlet assembly 4 are also connected to the water outlet body 1 in the same manner as the first water outlet assembly 2.

[0051] In this embodiment, a clearance groove 121 is formed around the periphery of the water outlet hole 12; the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are installed into or removed from the corresponding water outlet hole 12 through the clearance groove 121. Preferably, two clearance grooves 121 are provided, and the two clearance grooves 121 are symmetrically arranged.

[0052] 5 and 6 , the second embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0053] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the water outlet components embedded in the three water outlet holes 12 are different.

[0054] In this embodiment, the three water outlets 12 are respectively embedded with the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4, enabling the three water outlets 12 to form different water sprays. The number of drainage holes on the first water flow surface 21 is greater than the number of drainage holes on the third water flow surface 31 and greater than the number of drainage holes on the fourth water flow surface 42. This causes water flowing through the first water flow surface 21 to form multiple thin water columns, while water flowing through the third water flow surface 31 forms a single thick water column, and water flowing through the fourth water flow surface 42 forms a small amount of water column (spray water). Correspondingly, when the fourth water flow surface 42 serves as the water inlet, water does not flow out of the third water outlet assembly 4, but instead flows out of the first water outlet assembly 2 and the second water outlet assembly 3. To ensure the water outlet pressure of the first water outlet assembly 2 and the second water outlet assembly 3, the third water outlet assembly 4 is located between the first water outlet assembly 2 and the second water outlet assembly 3.

[0055] Please refer to FIG7 , the third embodiment of the present invention is:

[0056] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the three water outlet holes 12 are staggered in the length direction of the water outlet body 1 .

[0057] Please refer to FIG8 , the fourth embodiment of the present invention is:

[0058] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the number of water outlet holes 12 is different.

[0059] A showerhead includes a water outlet body 1 and a first water outlet assembly 2, a second water outlet assembly 3, and a third water outlet assembly 4 that can be reversibly connected to the water outlet body 1. The water outlet body 1 has a water outlet surface 11, which is provided with two water outlet holes 12. All water outlet holes 12 are arranged in sequence along the length of the water outlet body 1. Each water outlet hole 12 is respectively embedded with a first water outlet assembly 2. The first water outlet assembly 2 has a first water flow surface 21 and a second water flow surface 22 that can communicate with the water outlet hole 12. The second water outlet assembly 3 has two third water flow surfaces 31 that can communicate with the water outlet hole 12. The third water outlet assembly 4 has a water stop surface 41 and a fourth water flow surface 42 that can communicate with the water outlet hole 12. In other equivalent embodiments, each water outlet hole 12 can be embedded with a second water outlet assembly 3 or a third water outlet assembly 4.

[0060] In this embodiment, a clearance groove 121 is formed around the periphery of the water outlet hole 12; the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are installed into or removed from the corresponding water outlet hole 12 through the clearance groove 121. Preferably, two clearance grooves 121 are provided, and the two clearance grooves 121 are symmetrically arranged.

[0061] 9 to 11 , the fifth embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0062] The difference between this embodiment and the fourth embodiment is that the connection modes of the first water outlet assembly 2 , the second water outlet assembly 3 and the third water outlet assembly 4 to the water outlet body 1 are different.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first water outlet assembly 2, the second water outlet assembly 3, and the third water outlet assembly 4 are detachably connected to the water outlet body 1 via corresponding water outlet components 23. Taking the first water outlet assembly 2 as an example, the first water outlet assembly 2 includes a water outlet component 23 and a water flow panel 24. The water flow panel 24 and the water outlet component 23 are reversibly connected relative to each other, and the water outlet component 23 is threadedly connected to the corresponding through-hole of the water outlet body 1. The second water outlet assembly 3 and the third water outlet assembly 4 are also threadedly connected to the corresponding through-hole of the water outlet body 1 via the water outlet component 23.

[0064] In summary, the present invention provides a showerhead that utilizes a variety of different water flow panels to create different water spray patterns. The inclusion of a third water outlet assembly also allows for flow adjustment. Furthermore, the first, second, and third water outlet assemblies are all reversible to switch the water inlet surface, enabling reverse flushing of the drainage holes on each water flow surface. This allows impurities clogged in the drainage holes to be flushed out, simplifying cleaning.

[0065] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the present invention's description and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
